[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny I hear posters here claiming "the school is not a daycare" but they have no problem with the school being their kids taxi.  I for one am not counting on the school bus, the elementary schools are typically much closer to you than a highschool and I don't want my DD on the bus with [b]unknown older juveniles[/b].[/quote]
You're talking about kids who live nearby and attend the same school?  Put your kid on the bus.  Sheesh.

You didn't address the other two points but as always I address yours.  There are several "communities" that are served by the same bus and unfortunately one of them is known for disciplinary problems.[/quote]

5th graders are "unknown older juveniles"?  If you've got delinquent 5th graders roaming your hood your best bet is probably to move.  Does not sound safe and given the problems with the school shedule you may be better off in another school district. [/quote]

I've been on school buses in supposedly nice districts and I don't feel the behavior was appropriate for the younger kids.  I understand you can't shelter kids from everything but this is a side issue as catching the bus holds no advantage over dropping off in my situation.

I would like to move but for the moment I don't have the luxury to do be able to do so.  I like where I live I just don't trust the bus.[/quote]

My elementary kids are going to a school about 30-40 minutes away (depending on traffic).  They are going on the bus because I don't have the extra hours in my day to bring them to and from school every day.  It's just not possible.  If the kids run into a problem on the bus, such as bullying, we will have it addressed. Just as we did at their last school.[/quote]
