AITK for calling out the PTA president for skipping the pickup line?
Our elementary school pickup line is a nightmare and most days I literally sit in it for 25 minutes with my 4 year old screaming in the back seat because the line wraps around the whole block twice. Everyone waits. Since school started there's been one mom in a white SUV who drives right past all of us and pulls into the bus lane by the front door so her son can get in first.
After about 6 weeks of this I walked up to her window one day and said hey, I don't know if you know, but everyone's been waiting in that line. She said "I'm the PTA president, I have permission" and rolled her window up.
I emailed the principal and just asked if parents are allowed to use the bus lane for pickup. She wrote back that "our volunteers do so much for this school and a little flexibility is the least we can do." I asked if any parent who volunteers can use it and she never answered. So at the PTA meeting I asked during the open questions part whether volunteering gets you front of the line pickup, because I'd sign up tomorrow if it did. A few people laughed. The president said she didn't appreciate being called out by a parent who has never once volunteered, and that night she posted on the PTA page about parents who'd rather complain than help.
I work an early shift so I can do pickup and I can't make the morning volunteer slots. My husband opinion on this is that I should've just let it go because our daughter has 5 more years at this school and that woman basically runs it. She's still in the bus lane every day. AITK?
