DC goes to a large special school. They have a lot of vulnerable and immuno compromised kids in the building. School obvs know this and are absolutely militant about bubbles, staggered drop offs and appropriate staff in PPE. It's an absolutely huge exercise to get all the kids in and out every day as many are bussed or taxied in from all over our borough. They manage it really well, for the most part.
The line for pickup is spaced and separated out by year group. Parents picking up by car wait by the car and the child is brought to the vehicle. This is obvs to minimise contact between the parents and the bubbles.
But one parent, I will call them Sal, has absolutely no understanding or appreciation of this. Prior to COVID Sal was one of the parents holding court in a bit of a posse at the gates, someone I would nod to say hello to but not stop to chat to. Sal's kid is in my kid's class.
Sal does not want to lose out on their chat time, so now Sal wanders up and down the line with the DC that has been brought out to them, chatting to all the other parents. Their kid runs up to all the kids from other classes and hugs them (not their fault, remember this is a special school and the children have little understanding of social distancing). Sal encourages this. Sal seems to have little understanding of social distancing too.
I am a car picker upper because I feel it's safer, mainly because of parents like Sal. But honestly what is the point of bubbles if Sal and their kid are all over all these other kids and their parents at pickup?
AIBU to dob Sal in, well I wouldn't name them, but to point out to the headteacher how the bubbles are being compromised right in front of our noses? Would I then be THAT parent? I hate that COVID is doing this to everyone.
