[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Riding the bus doesn't stand out as the biggest problem bit the logistics do.

Is the walk to the stop 10 minutes for you - or her? Have her do the walk without you and actually clock it.

Then what time do the buses run? What time does she have to get up to get the bus and what time she has to catch one in the evening? Will the morning bus have her standing in the dark in the mornings and if so is the bus stop in an ok location for that?

What about weather? Walking to the bus stop in driving rain? Does the stop have a weather shelter? In snow? In extreme heat? Will she want to do it? Do you leave before her ? If so, could she just bail on going to school bc she didn't want to walk and wait at the stop.

If your kids take the school bus, you'd have these exact same issues unless you plan on walking or driving them to the bus, which would be ridiculous for a high schooler.

To answer OP, yes, I'd let my 14 year old take the bus.  Like others said, just do a dry run and make sure she knows how to handle herself on the bus.[/quote]
