[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students need to be seated in their classrooms by 7:25am. If they are not, they are tardy. I am glad that Rachel Carson is trying to get a handle on the ridiculous number of tardy students. Please have a little more respect for your child's education.[/quote]

Many students opt out of the bus because of the increase in bullying, harassment, racism, and assault occurring on the buses. They say pull the tapes but many of these busses only have audio recording. We drive our child and two neighbors every day since there are kids watching pornography on the bus, using horrific language, and there was both an assault and a theft on the bus just since winter break. Then we drive pass Franklin’s kiss and ride and see no problems. Make busses safer, create a better school culture, and utilize some strategic planning to actually figure out why Carson went from fantastic and peaceful just a few years back to abject chaos and a trash pit school. The problem with tardy students isn’t busses, it’s institutionalized ineptitude. They are bleeding teachers, support staff, counselors. This isn’t a pearl clutching gentle Navy or Crossfield mom problem, this is a plea for someone to wake up and realize the “TJ feeder” glory days are over and we need to do better. [/quote]

My kid and his friends have not had any issues on the bus to Carson, maybe it is specific routes but I have heard none of this from my kid. There have been repeated complaints about this on the board this year. I don't know if it is the same parents on repeat or there is a larger issue on specific routes that need to be addressed. The school some people are describing is no where near what my kid and his friends have experienced. We know kids at Carson from Navy, Oak Hill, Fox Mill, and Floris. I am sure my kid is in class with kids from other ES but those are the 4 ES that we know the kids who are at Carson. None of them have discussed these issues. And yes, we knows boys and girls.

If you are choosing to drive kids, then leave early enough that they get to class on time.[/quote]

Maybe your kids are the ones doing the bullying. Maybe you’re a parent who does not promote openness. Maybe your kids are lucky enough to be in AAP and don’t experience these issues.[/quote]
