Drop off circles may just be the bane of my existence.
I don't get it. We can successfully send a man to the moon but no one on this planet can figure out how to design a functional pick-up/drop-off lane at school. The rules for our school's "circle" are simple: Move Quickly, People. This means that no, you may not put your car in park, hop out and walk your child to the door of his classroom located at the other side of the building. It's bad enough cars are passing when they shouldn't be and kids are almost getting creamed on a regular basis as they try to exit the cars, but really, it doesn't help when you park. And then leave your own car. It's a drop off circle. That means you drop the kid off and then you drive away. Quickly. The drop off circle is meant for those mom's who just want to get away and enjoy the silence that sweeps through the car the second that kid gets out. Mom's like me. I get that you're a much better mom than all those other pathetic mothers (im)patiently...
