[quote=Anonymous]In middle school, I took the public bus the first few times with my child.  And many other parents from our school did the same.  We all stopped riding with our kids about a week or two in.  I think she will like it once she gets comfortable.  The kids have such a sense of freedom once they are used to it.

Maybe starting a new school and taking the bus are just too much together.  My daughter is also starting at a new high school (same as your child - a school that she wanted to apply to). She has begged me to drive her  the first week. I agreed. Even though she will need to walk for the school year, I understand the nerves at beginning of year.  I will need to alter my work schedule that first week.

Maybe I am too sympathetic, but I find the first days of a new job scary.  I am a routine loving person so the shock of a new routine is a lot.  I sincerely believe anything you can do to get the new school/new year off to a good start, you should do.  My child appreciates that I work to provide income, etc. so there's no spoiled child syndrome...sometimes you just need extra comfort at the beginning.  Hope this helps! [/quote]
