[quote=Anonymous]We were in a similar situation, although we were the waiters. In previous years the nearby school bus stop was on a corner a few houses down. We spent 3 years waiting there with our oldest and it was fine. He moved schools, and now we have a younger child waiting at the same busstop. In the intervening years, it had some how migrated to a neighbor's driveway - despite the fact that the neighbor didn't have kids on the bus! It was ridiculous; the kids were sitting on their doorstep, playing football around their cars. I didn't particularly like it - my kid didn't care either since his sole focus in life is being the first kid in line for the school bus. So I was relieved when one of the moms announced we had to move back to the assigned spot. She'd gotten a call from the homeowners who asked her to spread the word quietly.

So that's what I'd do if I were you: find one of the parents who seems reasonable, and ask them to spread the word. Fwiw, the homeowners in our case had also called the school bus depot and asked them to instruct the parents to wait at the precise spot rather than on a driveway for safety's sake. I think any sane parent will understand that it's a little discomforting to find someone else's kid parked on your doorstep looking in your windows! But it's better to approach the parents directly, rather than shout out the door at the kids or at someone doing a drop-off![/quote]
