[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does everyone act like riding the bus is horrible?  It's amazing.  We love it.  We are about to become walkers and I'm bummed.  Unless you are truly a close walker, it seems plenty of those families drive, which does not seem terribly appealing.

Great community feel at the bus stop.  Great way to get to know other neighbors.  As your kid gets older, great bit of independence for them as they go to the bus stop alone.  My kids love riding with their friends.  I'm able to get them out the door about 15 minutes prior to school being officially open for drop off, which is great.  Because of this, I'm able to avoid AM extended day.

Spoken by someone who grew up not riding the bus.

I hated my bus rides it was lord of the flies with pleather. [/quote]

Well, I had to ride a bus for MS and HS and it was fine. It was better than in ES when I had to rely on my mother to get to school, because I was always late (was too far for her to let me walk alone but not far enough to qualify for a bus, but younger siblings were always causing delays in the morning with a tantrum or blowout diaper or something like that).

Anyway, my kids’ bus has a driver and an attendant, who handles behavior. My kids don’t mind riding the bus at all and have never complained about issues. Like other PP said, we enjoy going to the stop to see them off and socialize with our neighbors. And we have some fun bus stop traditions. We make it fun, maybe our attitude toward the situation is reflected in their attitudes. My kids have never, ever complained about riding a bus or wanting to be driven by us. But they also are only 1.5 miles from the school, so not on an hour-long bus ride across the county. [/quote]
