[quote=Anonymous]OP I'm guessing your disdain for these bus stop parents will be on par with the hurt feelings you'll have when these neighbors and peers forget to include you in backyard bbqs and parents' nights outs. My youngest and only one still home is now in private and I miss the conviviality of parents seeking a few minutes of sweetness to start both their kids and our own days. Sure-some kids and parents are closed little bubbles but majority are just taking 10-15 m to start the day off together. If you actually stood at the bus stop (and don't worry NO ONE cares if you do or don't!) you'd see mostly kids are playing w/each other and adults are sharing news of school and neighborhood. I'd match the enthusiasm of my kids need for good byes- meaning the intense waves my young ones wanted and maybe just a meaningful catch of the eye for a 5th grader headed into take a test they were nervous about. After bus leaves-some days I might have time for a walk but most often it was back to work (I am 100% work at home.)

I've made some great friends at the bus stop, hired one pt employee I met there and build my work network too. Deciding to go private meant losing that easy 'see people time' and it truly was weighed in as a pro public/negative private decision. [/quote]
