Do it for the Kids!

I hate school zones.  They make me late to work (don’t suggest I get up earlier because it’s never going to happen – I’m not a morning person).  As I sat in one this morning on my way to work, I began to wonder if school zones are even necessary.  I believe that they are not and that they are actually harming our children.  Here’s why.  We all know that America has a problem with childhood obesity.  In fact, it has become an epidemic.  Maybe the cause behind this is that we don’t make them run enough.  Maybe they just need more exercise.  If there were no school zones, kids would have to run for their life every day.  I don’t know about you, but if I knew I was going to have to run for my life twice a day, I would totally make sure I could do it, which would mean more exercise for the children.  Plus, I would actually get to work on time for once.  It’s a simple win-win situation for everyone!
