Probably a good thing. Seems like more and more parents are choosing to drive their kids to school and the chaos results in a lot of impatience.

I agree with you, I almost get hit at every intersection or crossway I cross at in Toronto and around the GTA as well.

Most if not all crosswalks at intersection without signaled lights and crossways in-between intersection have a pedestrian right of way, though most cars speed past them without a thought in mind.

I find the issue is in north america we don't really design our streets and roads all that well. If we prioritized our streets design with children safety in mind everything else may just fall into place naturally in terms of pedestrian safety.
