> schools need to dismiss the kid to their parent

Schools (EDIT: feel the) need to dismiss the kid to someone. That could be another parent, in the case of carpooling. It could be a bus driver. The root problem is parents chauffering their kids to and from school.

"Back in my day" the bell went and we walked out the gate and went home.

Sure, yes, didn't mean to imply schools have to do this. Just that a school can satisfy its need to look paranoid while sidestepping the problems cited in the article. The root problem isn't the schools' paranoia. It's the lack of a solid bus system.

Do they? What's the citation for that law? Who are the schools dismissing the kids to when they walk home by themselves?
