I agree with your statement about driving to school and the notion of riding the bus. Have anyone seen how those kids drive after school. It is scary and should be addressed somehow. I believe if more of the school rules concerning driving were enforced there may be better opportunities for students to drive who are waiting for a permit to drive. I do believe we need more strenous driving consequenses. We are fortunate to not have someone injured seriously. I remember not to long ago some students were driving down Bunch Rd and threw a water balloon at an oncomming car striking the windshield and at approx. 50 miles per hour that windshield partially caved in causing the driver to have to quickly steer off the road. I heard that the driver was a young lady with two young children. So yes, why press the driving to school issue when there are so many more concerns to deal with at Northwest.

Just think about the size of the facility that could fit onto the student parking lot at Northwest!
I am glad you mentioned that. I forgot to say something about the teachers. Parents and students concerns are so overwhelming sometimes that I believe we loose track of the staff that struggles to have any place to park. The school is limited on handicapped parking and visitor parking. Have anyone tried to go and visit the school lately? Check out the visitor's parking area in front of the school. Only, what I counted, five spaces. Pretty pathetic for a school having a population of almost 2500. What do we do. We need a viable plan that will work for NW without all the my and our needs. We need to do what is best for the school and our kid's safety. Having all kids capable of driving to NW drive is ridiculous. I believe our common sense says that we really need to cut back alot on the number of drivers while giving focus to student transportation through, Guilford County Schools. That's where the pressure needs to be applied.

Gosh. How did you know?
It was the price Pappy and I paid for a higher education.
'Course he was always much higher than the rest of us.
