I will admit that the staggered schedule does seem to help traffic. However, I see busses still out and running long after all the kids and drivers should have been home. As for the moms and pops crying about the school schedule interfering with their work schedule, you should have thought about all this when you decided to start a family. You are either a career person or a parent. Conflicts are sure to arise when you try to juggle both. That's life.
