[quote=Anonymous]I see lots of parents drive their kids to the bus stop, and a number of them then turn around and drive back home.

I can somewhat understand doing that if the weather is REALLY bad (pouring rain, extreme cold, etc.) and the school is far away so it still makes sense for the kid to take the bus rather than have the parent drive the child to school, or if the bus stop is quite far away from the child's home, or if the child is somehow incapacitated (injured, carrying a project, etc.), but I don't understand doing that on a regular basis in most situations.

My former neighbor used to drive her typically developing, upper-elementary-school and late-middle-school/early-high-school-aged children to the bus stop that was about 50 yards away from her home.  She would drop them off to stand at the bus stop while she waited in the car.  Then, when the bus came, she drove back home.  I found that strange, but figured there had to be something about which I wasn't aware that caused her to do what she did.   I only every saw her drive the older kid to the bus stop (because I went to work around the same time the kid's bus came), but she told me she did it for the younger one, too.  [/quote]
