      Parents need a way to drop off and pick up their kids, especially if it is a time other than school hours- the kid is sick, has a doctor’s appointment, etc.

        Not in most of europe, where kids can usually go to school by themselves, either by walking, biking or public transport. It’s all about city planning.

        Helicopter parents driving their children to and from school are a big nuisance and safety concern here.

          If your child is very sick, walking, biking or public transport would not be the best way to get them out of a school.

            There have to be excemptions for those very rare cases of course. Just like there are for fire trucks in case the school building is on fire.

            But if children are too sick to walk, an ambulace might be a better solution perhaps?
