And every day the traffic jokes greets the schools. Every morning the same picture: the parental School taxi brings the next generation to school. Stop – partly also in the second row, daughter or son-man get off and continue without any reflective equipment.
At the Dr. Pfeiffer in Schweinfurt, this hectic hustle and bustle day can be observed, whether the sun is shining or whether it is raining.
This is exactly what the headmaster of the Dr. Pfeiffer Schweinfurt, Mrs. Pensile, and the two traffic educators of the police inspectorate Schweinfurt, police chief Rupert and chief police chief Kraft, took to the occasion of the action week “Walking to school”.
With this action the children of all classes got a “to-foot-to-school-stamped”. They were given a stamp every day when they walked to school and stamped it at one of the checkpoints. Members of the Parent’s Advisory Board or teachers occupied the inspection posts. They proudly presented it to the two traffic educators with the already collected motif stamps. After the end of the action, a reward will be waiting for the most diligent pedestrian class.
There was no reward, however, for the parents who still brought their offspring to school by car. “We slept,” a hectic mother said. Quickly buy the visibly tired son’s husband at the baker a breakfast, and then push the book into his hand, into the car and go. The students of the Pestalozzi School gave the hurrying mother a red card by reflective material before she drove off!
On the red card, the unmistakable message “Red card! Join us! On foot to school! “Kraft, the transport instructor, gave the hurried mother the important advice:” Be an example! The best way to prevent accidents is by using good examples! Accompany your child walking to school and give him behavior tips “.
Especially now in the autumn and winter days, where the school paths are increasingly in the dark in the morning, it is important for the traffic novices to behave properly in road traffic. Especially important is bright and reflective clothing! Roads are only to be crossed at the secured crossroads, according to the two traffic educators.
