[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. [b]Then we drive pass Franklin’s kiss and ride and see no problems. [/b]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]

To be fair, Franklin is a much smaller school and they have a separate lot to go in for the kiss n ride. But if you come too late it does get backed up and then with the added time of the metal detectors your child will be late. We’ve adjusted for that by leaving earlier. I also think more kids may ride the bus to Franklin because there are no out of bounds students coming for AAP. With Carson, you have kids coming from further away so there are going to be more drivers so their kids can sleep more.

If you think Carson is bad, wait until you hit high school.[/quote]

A good number of students who should be at Franklin are at Carson. [/quote]
