to have been a tiny bit judge?

DS2 is in year 1 in a small country primary school. All the parents take their children to the door of the classroom at drop off and most drive as it is a country school and most don't live in walking distance.

This morning a boy in his class was dropped by his dad over the school wall and told to jump over and run into class. His dad sat in the car and was shouting at him to get into class. The boy was faffing about and playing as little boys do and so since I was walking out I took him into class.

My question is WIBU to judge the boys dad for not parking up and walking his son into school. The boy is very young for his age and seems to be in trouble quite often and so I thought really it was the least the dad could do.

Maybe the parents are odd at our school and other parents do drop on the road and leave their DC to walk in. Perhaps we are too helicoptery?

Just interested really in other views.

My 6yr DS goes to a village primary school with 4 classrooms.
They have one infants classroom so ages range from 4-8yrs.

After the first week of the Autumn term, everyone drops their child just outside the gate. (Gate isn't locked.)

I've not seen any parent actually take their child into the school yard let alone drop them off in the classroom.

yrs R-3 are walked into the classrooms here, the school don't take responsibility on the playground in the morning. All the classes have outside doors so we're expected to deliver them to the door and the teachers are accessible to speak to in the 10 mins between doors opening and the bell for registration going.

yr4-6 are expected to be dropped to the playground and enter via a communal door, the class teachers stand outside for 10 mins.

my oldest is disabled so he comes in via my yr2 dd's class door and i walk him through the school and hand him to his TA/1:1 in his classroom, i don't allow him to go in through the KS2 door as i can't guarantee he will make it to his class as he wanders off.

We do get a lot of late comers pulling up on the pavement outside to drop kids off who have to go in via the office once the class doors are shut at 8.55.
