It's the Cell Phone's Fault!!

There's a county-wide special magnet elementary school a block from my house. Busses will pick up kids from around the county and drop them off at this school, but a lot of parents choose to drive their kids there instead. Our own neighborhood elementary school is actually farther away, and our daughter has to take a bus to get there. Parents with kids going to the special magnet school have been known to zip through our neighborhood, blow past the stopped school bus our daughter is boarding while its lights are flashing, and then zip to the special magnet school so they can drop their own kids off.

These parents, I'm sure, think that they are responsible adults who care about the safety of children in general. The lesson here is that most people, when they get behind the wheel of a car, change. You probably change too, although you won't admit it because you don't realize it.
