[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 1 kid in private and 1 in MCPS and I love driving my daughter to and from school.  I highly doubt most parents are going to do this.  You still have to drive them to a "bus stop" and wait there.  Might as well just drive them all the way.

Same with my public school kids.  I could walk them to the bus stop 45min before school starts or spend more time in the morning with them and drive them the half mile to school 5 minutes before school starts.  If the morning is bright and warm, we walk and go to the playground first.  We have a semi-busy road that gives us a bus.  It is a total waste of time/energy IMO[/quote]

Not all parents have to drive their kids to a stop.

The bus comes to our door, as I have two in elementary.  Once they start middle/high, they will walk down the street to wait at a stop.  The walk will take 5 minutes at most.  It all depends on where your house is.

Furthermore, not all parents have the option of driving their kids to school due to their work schedule.  Your schedule is a luxury, and I'm assuming that you either have a flexible work schedule or you don't work at all.[/quote]

I don't know any elementary school that picks kids up door to door.  Your bus stop may be closer but that is just you, not your whole neighborhood.  And my point of the waste of busses is that the elementary school is less than a 0.5 mile from my house but because the street has a traffic light, we "have" to have a bus.  Many students are designated walkers that walk, bike or get driven up to a mile to school.  So all those parents don't have the luxury whether they want a bus or not.  So I am not sure your point?
