To want to say something to parents who DO this?

At school drop off, there are quite a lot of parents who park on the side of the quite busy road (that's allowed) and then go INTO the road open the child's passenger door and stand there with their arses sticking out whilst they undo seatbelts and haul toddlers out.

Why don't they go onto the PATH side of the car and get them out there? Confused Yes they might have to kneel into the car a bit if the child is further towards the road side...but so what? They shouldn't be standing on roads and getting children out onto roads should they?

Jesus Ajas Confused so some women leave it too late to arrive at school and now this woman arrives too early?? Judge much.

What exactly is the perfect window of preapproved time that we’re all supposed to arrive within?

Do you know anything about her life other than when she arrives at school? Maybe she finishes work just round the corner from school at 1.30 and it’s not worth her while driving the whole way home just to have to turn on her heel and come back to collect her kids.

I think that a lot of this problem could be alleviated by people who could quite easily walk to school doing so. I regularly see people who are perfectly capable of walking and don't work, using a car for the school run, when they only live a 10 minute walk away.
