Scholar patrollers deserve our respect as parents and other road users.
They spend their times helping our children to cross the roads. They play an important role in the lives of children who walk or cycle to school.
They help children safely cross the street at key locations.
They also remind drivers of the presence of pedestrians.
Their presence can lead to more parents feeling comfortable about their child walking or cycling to school.
Drivers often talk on cellphones, text, listen to loud music and do other things that make them lose concentration while on the road.
No one should forget the vital public service these workers provide.
