Never drop your children off just anywhere in the school drop off zone (like in the middle of the street with cars moving on either side of you). Use the curb, and have them get out of the door next to the curb. Don't stop at the first point along that curb that you come to--PULL FORWARD!!! (My morning pas de deux x 100) You'd think some of these people had kids to spare, the way the just plop them out anywhere amongst the moving traffic.
