[quote=Anonymous]They'll miss some degree of taking personal responsibility for being somewhere on time and the opportunity to experience natural consequences if they fail. I'm not saying that's a reason to make them do it, but it's a "soft skill" that helps develop independence and resilience, IMO. They'll also miss experiencing different social dynamics on the bus and the opportunity to interact more intimately with kids from your neighborhood. Those dynamics may not always be favorable, but the experience, too, builds character. Are these things essential or critical? No... But you asked what will they miss. Chauffering them does keep them in a bubble.[/quote]
