Mr. Weeds,

I don’t live in the big city, but that doesn’t mean I have to twiddle my thumbs while a bunch of spoiled little kids dilly dally across the street. I HAVE A JOB TO DO!! A slow pace of life is within reason.

The real problem is there is no physical education and the kids don’t know how to run across the street.
When I was one of the ninety percent that walked or rode my bike, I HUSTLED across the street if there was a car. These kids think they need to count the cracks in the dilapidated pavement. I MEAN COME ON!!!!!

@ Model Citizen
Be glad you don’t live in the city. If you live in a big city, you would be brushing your teeth at 5:30 not 7:00.
A slow pace of life is nice AND it is also a small cost for living here.

This is so one-sided. What about the people that live in the neighborhood that are late to work???

Children might be our future, but the worker’s tax dollars pays for their education…..

Just to clarify, the ‘physical activity’ was ME kicking a parents truck for almost running over a child!!

A parent actually got physical with her? Ridiculous! Slow down people. I see such terrible driving when i walk my daughter to school everyday. We need more police officers out there and writing tickets to teach these people a lesson!

I love Kim.
My family arrived at Topa at the same time Kim relieved Principal John LaSuer from the cross walk duties.
And she is still there. Most every morning in shorts. With a smile. Knows my kids. Watches out for my kids.

Two thumbs up!
