To email the school about this - not sure it's their responsibilty but I am a bit peeved

[MrsPatrickDempsey]

I walk a mile to school with DS. School is a village primary situated on a main road. Since the children returned on Thursday about half of the yr6 children are now cycling to school but they all cycle on the path as the road is a busy one and the cars do exceed the limit despite a flashing warning sign.

The problem is they have no regard for pedestrians and bomb along the path, usually in groups, weaving around people walking. They are obviously enjoying their independence but are being quite dangerous and I have had to step in the road three times to avoid them; as we are travelling in the same direction they come up from behind and effectively push the walkers out of the way. There are no manners - excuse me, please, sorry or thank you either.

Because it appears to be a collective thing I wonder if school should be aware and remind the class about safety and ettiquette or am I being a busy body?

Thank you yoho.

Wow... Really wow... This is concerning... Kids on bike on a path? No manners? Where is this generation going?!

mamasilla Have you walked along with toddlers and young children when even just a couple of children have raced past on bikes?

Quite dangerous...

Definitely contact the school - perhaps just ring them.

FWIW I called the local high school once after my car got pelted by snowballs by kids from the school. The secretary was horrified and wanted to get a senior staff member to call me back. I said there was no need - I just wanted to let them know. A parent of one of my DD's classmates is a year head at the same school and I happened to mention it (I forgot who I was talking to momentarily!!!) and she too was cross and said she'd habe words with the entire year. They were older than her year group and I said as much but she was very definite that she would be having words regardless about behaviour in public.
