[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I was shocked when I moved to this area to learn that private school kids didn't get transportation.[/b]  Where I grew up, the school district provided transportation to any student who met certain guidelines.  I don't remember the exact details, but basically, you had to live X distance away from school (otherwise you were a walker) and the school had to be no more than 10 miles away.   I think there were other safety rules that could get someone included even if they were too close, like crossing a major highway or something.  As long as you met those criteria, it didn't matter if it was a public or private school, you still got busing.

It seems like a lot more parents around here drive their kids to school, even if busing is available.  I'm not sure why, but it sure is a PITA to have to drive near a school at drop off time around here, and that was never a problem where I grew up.  Sure, there were a few kids being dropped off, but generally you either walked or took the bus.

When I moved here I was shocked that public schools had free bus service.  Where I grew up, and where my kids went to schools before moving here, we had zero bus service for public school.[/quote]
