Pisses me off to no end. A parent walking around in a school to pick up his kid without checking in with the office. Violated every rule in the book. Common courtesy would dictate at least a cursory stop at the front desk. But no, you have to wander around in a school without a challenge. Maybe just maybe one or another recognized you just a little? Then you write a letter to the school and get no response. How do you know there was no response.
Maybe the school admin was quietly taking care of business while trying to keep down any possible hysteria. But you in your foot stamping unfulfilled middle aged crisis having a sissy tantrum over not getting any attention alerted the entire region via the news agency about some school supposedly without any security. Wouldn't you at least think that would draw a nutbag? Yes, your action could have created a copy cat who would like to test the system and wander around a school of little kids. Way to go.. You are not a hero. A hero would go to the school admins to work up a plan on how to make the school secure.
But no, you have to stamp your feet to get your way. Let me call a whaaaambulance. Got some cheese with that whine?
You just had to make a frigging scene with the news media. Friggin t1tty baby whining about how you were able to get your kid. You should work in a junk yard because you sure make enough of it.
Are you just another Malcontent looking for some fame?
Avoiding left turns is one of the seven rules of defensive driving. Then avoid u turns and backing and then parking in the getaway position are a few more. But, lets examine some facts. UPS and the like run their routes with no left turns if at all possible. But i guess you never had a professional driving course. Or you would know that. You talk about safety. But your complaint about left turns is just about as lame as it gets. A left turn or a u turn is about the single highest cause of buss accidents. That's right... left turns and u turns. The only maneuver higher in danger is backing. So what do you want. Safety or a convenient shorter bus ride?
Why not get a little more educated about your uninformed facts before going off half cocked.
1. Did attempt to check in with the office it was closed. That is what brought up one of my first red flags. I followed that up with my very loud booming voice yelling Hello multiple times as I was wandering around looking for my kid.
2. I knew there was no response because, I did this 2 days in a row same scenario. I have made multiple attempts to work with the school board and have been rebuffed. Our school board has a long track history of doing what they want and not worrying about students safety and well being.
3. This all went down 2 days PRIOR to the school shooting. The original interview was postponed. Then the incident in Atlanta happened. Emphasizing my concerns.
4. I was a Vehicle Operator (I can operate damn near anything with wheels, and have the Awards to back it up) in the Air Force as part of the 81st Logistics Squad. I know how to move people & cargo. It's what I did for a living to keep our country safe. So, too attempt to lecture me on left hand turns etc.. is just BS you avoid doing pick up operations on major roadways whether it's people or cargo. I have the miles under my belt to back up those claims. I also spent plenty of time operating school buses in order to move troops on a daily basis. I know my stuff.
