This looks so weird to a NZer. So the cars are all showing up to the school's front entrance, one at a time?

My kids just walk down the road and round the corner so I don't really encounter much traffic. It'd be a bit silly to pick them up right in front of the school...

(ofc, most kids just walk or bus home - I unfortunately live further away so don't really have that option)

    I think its done this way these days out of a concern for child safety. Especially with elementary age kids, the school needs to know who is picking up the kid. (You often have to have a thing with your kids name and grade hanging from your rearview mirror) They don't want to be responsible for strangers, or an estranged relative kidnapping a child.

    They are also concerned about the kids walking through parking lots or the pickup line and getting hit by a car.

    Those things happened enough times, and school districts got sued enough times that we end up with what you see above.
