drop off

We are nearing the end of the school season and things are starting to get a little relaxed not only at the schools but in the parking lot. I have heard numerous parents complain that people are being dangerous in the school drop off zone because they are running late.

I will be the first to admit that I am still learning when it comes to my children and our school systems. That being said, what is the proper procedure for dropping off your children at school? At High Schools I know there is a specific "Drop Off Zone" but at the elementary school my son attends there is a sign that says "No Stopping On Curb".

According to the National Household Travel Survey, 75% of parents now drive their children to school.  In 1969, it was only 15%.  And parents drive their kids even though at least half of the school-age children in this country live within two miles of their schools.
