Yo, students! I know you’re new in town and full of wonder and new friendships. Just try to remember there’s a whole city of full-time residents, and we use the sidewalks to, like, get places we go. Not walking three- to five- abreast really helps us do that, especially if we are headed in a different direction than you. It’s not like we’re zoo animals for you to watch; we live here. Make some room on the sidewalk, will ya? Please and thanks! —Laura

Simple. Stop. Stand your ground. Elbows out. Say hello. Smile.
Yes, students, single file only and hold onto the rope. And if you get lost ask an adult to help you.
Jesus nailed it! Just stop, they’ll always walk around you with a confused look on their faces. Not just to students though, any sidewalk hog.
I always follow the same rule as driving (keep to the right) on sidewalks, in hallways, on escalators, etc. Doesn’t seem that complicated to me.
I feel ya. I lost count of how many times I forced my way through a group of students hogging the sidewalk. Sometimes I miss using a stroller cause I use to “bump” into them accidently for being sidewalk hogs.
Really…is that the least of ur worries? pathetic.
What would you expect from a me-me self-centered generation?
Walk with rigid shoulders and boy ‘ole boy watch the looks and mumbling.
I don’t get why they have to walk all sprawled out…
they’re all just looking down texting on their phones anyway.
