Reopening of school and traffic rant thread

[guyver01]

yet another reason to work graveyard shifts.... no traffic .. nothing.

I get to work at 630, so I haven't had to deal with it. The little bastards need to ride the bus though.

There's a community college where I live, and the traffic increases, then as the semester continues it decreases due to all of the intellectually inferior garbage dropping out of community college. This phenomenon amuses me.

It doesnt amuse me.
But I do appreciate it. Classes will be much smaller in the 2nd semester, and I can get what I need.

I hate Virginia public schools. None of these kids is even close to prepared for basic community college. The smartest person I know here was home schooled in K-12, and she left when she saw what a joke this college was.

Still got a week or two. I only started driving to work last year, and I started during last summer. The first week of school was the biggest 'fuck you' I ever got. Twice/thrice the number of buses and cars. Impatient turds all over.

I'll be going back to college part-time, so might ditch the car and start taking transit every day. *shudders*

Something like a third of all traffic during the school year is parents driving their kids to school.

I could count on one hand the number of times my mom drove me to school in 12 years. Is it just a combination of no school buses and kids too lazy to bike/walk?

I came here to post this. I work for a school, and it's ridiculous how empty the school buses are, and the minivans and suvs are wrapped around the student parking lot and block faculty from getting into their lot.

They should make it mandatory for kids to take the bus unless they are late for some reason. We pay taxpayer dollars for half full transportation.

In my school system in Minnesota it was.
Then some whiny helicopter parent cried.
Those whiny bitches make more problems than any other factor.

My place is sandwiched between the largest college in the state and one of the two highschools in town. Both are within 3 blocks. The main middle school, two or 3 K-6 schools, and downtown are within a half mile. I can't go anywhere between 2:30 and 5:30.

At least you have your choice of female age groups to choose to kidnap.

When you feel in a pedo mood hang around the k-6 schools and when you want some older women visit the college with the chloroform. :awe:
