\t\t\t\t\"bad<\/a>Scott Gerbracht is a parent at Bill Roberts<\/a> school in Stapleton. He often drives his kids to school, which he would enjoy if it wasn\u2019t for \u201call the horrible f*cking drivers.\u201d \u201cI can\u2019t believe how bad people are at driving, parking, obeying rules, etc.,\u201d said Gerbracht. \u201cIt is unreal. Almost every day I would take my kids to school, and almost every day I would see almost incomprehensible driving.\u201d For that reason, Gerbracht worked with the school and the district to set up a mandatory summer driver\u2019s education program for all parents who have returning or incoming students at Bill Roberts.\n\nParents must schedule a three day, two hour session lesson at one point throughout the summer.\u00a0 \u201cThe program will focus on understanding directions, right of way, reading signs, and will also address spatial reasoning issues such as how and when to parallel park,\u201d said Gerbracht. \u201cI mean, you wouldn\u2019t believe how many people can\u2019t parallel park. And when I say people, I of course mean women. That\u2019s not sexism, that\u2019s factism.\u201d When the program is completed, those graduating will receive a small blue sticker to display prominently on their windshield. \u201cIf you have the sticker on your car, you can drop off and pick up as you please,\u201d said Gerbracht. \u201cIf you do not have the sticker, you could be ticketed by one of the parent patrols and have to pay a $20 fine.\u201d The class itself costs $40, so Gerbracht feels the time and money for the class is well worth it. \u201cNot only may you re-learn a few things you forgot, you are also showing you\u2019re a good team member here at our school.\u201d\nWhen Gerbracht introduced the concept in April, parents of other Stapleton schools thought the program could be helpful to their school as well. The schools have since jumped on board including Westerly Creek<\/a>, Swigert<\/a>, and Isabella Bird<\/a>. As of now, those schools will only require attendance by those who are new incoming parents. \u201cThe program is brand new,\u201d said Gerbracht. \u201cIt may not be perfect, but we are willing to give it a chance and see if we can make it grow. It certainly can\u2019t hurt.\u201d Those needing to register can do so by going to the \u201cStapleton Parents Who Can\u2019t Believe People Drive This Bad So Something Needs To Change\u201d web site by clicking here<\/a>.
