[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Indiana - moved from DC- bus shortage or something here so bus comes at 6:15 in morning for 7:30 school start- and school is 3 miles away- ridiculous--- so not one kid rides bus in morming- they all carpool. All neighborhood of stay home moms.  
   My husband and I work and it's not ideal to drive in morning so I put 8 year old daughter on bus. She is the only one on bus unitil they get to next neighborhood.. It's pitch black on bus and she's on with stranger ( male bus driver). I'm sure he's fine guy, but it's really odd to have 8 year old on bus alone in dark for 15-20 minutes. 
   Do you think I should bite the bullet and drive her  every day or would you be ok with the bus scenario. I cannot believe not one person rides in our neighborhood but it is true! 
  I was part of carpool but there is some drama in that- although nothing I have to be a part of- just trying to de idea what to do[/quote]

I usually don't say stuff like this but...Why can't you just change your schedule take her to school?  It's 3 miles from your house - in Indiana.  How would taking her to school affect your or your DH getting to work on time?[/quote]

+1 Or ask if your school has before-care so you can drop her off a few minutes early.  It sounds like it's even less ideal for her to be on the bus for so long, and alone for part of that time.[/quote]
