school traffic

Dropping off and picking up a child at any school in the valley.If you have the privilege of having to put up with the insane system idea rules of where when and why evans elementary school with the adjoining preschool has a window of 10 min. in the morning for 530 students to be dropped off . NOW the street across from the drop off is off limits for those who would park and walk there child across or pick up.You will get a ticket if you park or flip a uturn .I get how in the morning we wait,pause to watch our children pass thru the one open gate onto the school ground that we are not allowed to enter.Now the point of my rant......This morning after watching a woman in a new ford explorer with paper plates sit at the corner of all this madness at the prime spot to drop off and watch your child for the third day in a roll I parked and walked to her car and asked why are you sitting there blocking traffic ,being rude, inconsiderate of others. She told me she was parked legal,she was.She was waiting to take her preschooler across the driveway because she had already dropped her elementary school children off ,i asked her why she didnt move in front of the
preshool she said i dont want to. mind your own business. Funny I thought that was my life at that moment.She was right. She had the right to sit there
but ..just because your right doesnt excuse being rude and clueless to others feelings. Please wave at mz. self righteous who im sure will be parked in the way again on monday
