I don't agree. If you're able to get to the school, through the school traffic, and get the dropoff done in 5 minutes, then the school can't be more than about 1/4 mile away.
Schools (especially primary/elementary) are often located in residential areas, so the traffic to get in and out are not trivial.
You guys and your car brains are weird. All this contortion to get around saying "I can't figure out how to walk farther than 5 yards without a motor and an engine, waaah waah waah". My kids both ride their bikes around 2 miles from the house, across major streets to get to 8th and 10th grade, they've never once been dropped off unless it was after a doctors/dentists appointment, and haven't been run over even one time. They walked the 1/4 mile to the elementary school before that.
