TheSocialist Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Is it just me but i have two children I sometimes walk to School or the wife does it what makes me mad is those idiot parents driving to school when they only live a few streets away. I think they should be forced off there lazy selfish backsides and be made to walk in 15 mins walk is hardly going to kill them and might stop there kids getting fat and lazy. I used to walk 2 miles to School and if anyone replys with the usual peraniod but there odd men about thing i dont buy that exscuse its just pandering to media driven hysteria to justfy being to lazy to force there huge backsides out of the car seat:rant:
honeyb35 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 wow bit of a rant! I get where you're coming from though, I live in a village and the amount of people who drive to school, when 98% of them can't live more than a 15 minute walk! Its on a really narrow road as well, with a busy bus route and can be a nightmare to cross, I feel sorry for the lollipop lady!

Farmboy Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Could this be contributing to obesity in kids/parents?
TheSocialist Posted March 9, 2008 Author Posted March 9, 2008 i have seen some of them there arse's are so huge it take them nearly as long to get out of the car than to actually walk it

Hook Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 The ones who drive stand out... rather like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hook85/2267931294/ They should ban parking around all schools, if kids can't walk they can get the bus (:
Titian Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 There's nothing I like more than walking to school with my children, when I have the chance to. Unfortunately I have to drive them to school as I have to make a mad dash to my workplace straight after. Does that make me lazy?

Unfortunately I have to drive them to school as I have to make a mad dash to my workplace straight after. Is it possible to get up a little earlier, move your car closer to the school, go back home, walk the kids to school and then jump in the car to work? Go on! Think of the good the extra walk will do you!
samsmum Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 blimey, isnt this just a generalisation? how do you know those parents arent then going to work or to care for an elderly relative? i know plenty of people who drive their kids to school from only several streets away but they then go on to work/care responsibilites/uni/college/back to care for other kids ... surely not all can be labelled as lazy? are you saying every one who drives thier kids to school from a few streets away are lazy? im sure theyd love to explain themselves to you ... why dont you ask them?
