Until two years ago there was a school zone speed limit with signs and flashing lights on that busy street. Then the city decided since no kids crossed that street the school zone was not needed. the signs and flashing lights came down.
At the end of last school year the city closed the school she was attending, and placed us in the district for the school three blocks away.
New signs went up on the busy street. Tiny signs. No flashing lights. And the kids are NOT allowed to cross the busy street. No crossing guards, even though there is a crosswalk right in front of the school with mounts for traffic signals hanging over it.
My daughter now walks four blocks to catch a school bus to take her across the street to a school three blocks away.
And the other day when I walked down to the school to get her I was told that I could cross that street but she couldn't. My reply? I told them that I signed her out, so she was my responsibility now, not theirs.
This is in Norfolk, VA. The city that had middle school students back in the 90’s walk to a school in the north end of town and get on a bus that took them all the way downtown to a school near the projects. And had the gall to state that they didn't bus students to achieve racial equality.
Sorry about the rant. I go look for some silliness now.
