The more academically inclined may stop by the library. Or a stop at a park to play a little football. This is proibably more common for boys at state schools. Although most mums want the children to come home first to change out of their uniforms. Other children take busses or trans which is cmmon at day schools. There is often a line of vehicles with mothers waiting to pick of the children who are driven to school. Here some times the school has to do a little management of the mums.
