[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm astonished by some of the vitriol here. I've never been late to the bus stop to pick up my kid, but I've seen it happen, and the parents it happens to are good parents.  Shit happens.  I didn't think elementary buses were supposed to release kids without a caregiver present. It doesn't seem like a good idea to me. What if the parent had had a heart attack, and the kid lived across a busy intersection?

I don't know where you guys that have four neighbors you could depend on in an emergency live, but that is not OUR situation. [/quote]

You really think elementary school kids should be given from bus driver directly to parent? How much hand-holding does your kid require? By the time my kid was in 4th grade I had her taking mass transit to and home from school. I got her a cell phone so she could call me in the morning when she got to school. Kids are capable of a lot more than they're being allowed to do. [/quote]
