[quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier. My child had around an hour each way to a public special ed center. He then had about an hour each way to a private contract school. Then, he switched to another private contract school with a bus ride that was about 1.5 hours each way. That's three hours a day on the bus, for years. Other children had even longer rides. You would be surprised to learn that there is no max or upper limit on how long children are scheduled to be on the buses. Each bus usually had 3 or 4 other children riding it, or the school system sent the children in taxis or vans. To the pp upthread, every child who went to his school used devices for the bus. An audio book is a nice idea but given how painfully long these bus rides are, every parent I know just went with whatever would keep their kid happiest he longest. [/quote]
