So much about safety at school...

Elias had a field trip : they walked to a neighboring school to do sports there.
At the end of the day, the parents were supposed to pick up the kids at this school (instead of at the regular school). I was aware of this, but because I had to pick up Mendel first, I was a little late, so the teacher had sent Elias back to the original school with another mom (by car).

I was a little annoyed, having just come from that school, but even more so when I heard from Elias how the trip had happened:

- the other mom´s car didn´t have a car seat
- the other mom told Elias he didn´t have to wear a seat belt "because it isn´t far"!!

I was steaming - very American probably.
But really - what are they thinking?

mental note: keep an eye on my kids, cause not everyone in Belgium has common sense
