What’s up with everyone driving kids to school now?

Title mostly. Can only speak for Sandy Hook & Cromwell.

Every morning there is at least a mile of cars on both ways leading to the schools. It is such an annoying cause of traffic congestion and i don’t understand why or even when this became such a huge problem?

EDIT: ok this blew up a lot more than i expected..

-There’s definitely reasons to drop your kids off at school, always have been. What i’m asking is why it seems like it’s increased 10 fold in recent years.

—Bus staffing/ being late/ school legislation + covid seem like the heaviest hitters honestly.

-I used to have an hour bus ride so yeah i know it kinda sucks but it’s truly not THAT bad.

-All of your kids are being bullied??? I’m sorry to hear that, but this seems like an avoidance instead of a solution.

I don’t understand saying this is a weird thing to be upset about; i guarantee if everyone had to deal with their driveway/intersection being blocked every monday-friday because of a mile long line nowadays, you wouldn’t be too thrilled either.. i’m not saying participants are evil, just don’t know what happened and idk maybe carpool or something lol
