This isn't even 4 weeks of headlines. Imagine the collective outrage there would be if schoolchildren were being hospitalised at a rate of 1 or 2 a week by anything other than drivers and their cars. 
And two more. Nothing to see here.
Every school should have a 20mph limit on any roads passing it, reducing to 10mph during gate times. There should be proper, convenient crossings. Zero-tolerance "just dropping off" zones. School streets where needed. Camera enforcement. Punitive fines. etc.
It should be as antisocial and publicly unacceptable to flout these as it is to get behind the wheel drunk.
And if you think that's over the top or draconian or whatever, I will ask you why you think your personal journey not taking 10 or 15 seconds more is a higher priority than not putting children in hospital. Or worse.
