I had to take my grandson from time to time to school. It would take up to an hour because traffic would be lined up a lot farther away. People either too busy on their phones and/or students waiting until they pull up at drop off point to gather everything into backpacks.

it seems the Summer break in the USA is shorter than it used to be years ago. My kids always grew through the summer break. being free to run free and play with friends and cousins, a summer holiday with Mum and Dad with days at the beach. They would need all new clothes, especially shoes to go back to school.

Good morning

It's hard to imagine there being a polite traffic jam, especially first thing in the morning, but when children are involved it should certainly be that way. I love your references to the children as "darling adorables." My girls usually rode the bus, but when they were running behind I would give them a ride. My grandkids will go back to school on August 28th. I remember when school didn't start until after Labor Day.
