[quote=Anonymous]School buses arrive later to school on a regular basis. Ask your child's school how often a bus arrives late, thus "impeding instruction". At one school I worked at, a particular bus arrived late easily 3 days a week -- some days 10 minutes late! Many of those kids needed to then go and get their breakfast, which they brought to the classroom. 10 minutes late on a regular basis did impede instruction. This was in Fairfax County by the way. And yes, we did complain, but transportation said that there was nothing that they could do about it. Maybe the parents should have sued the school district for failure to get their kids to school on time? If the state of VA decides to make a law specifying exactly how many tardies a child can have before the parents are fined or imprisoned for failing to get their kids to school on time, I suppose that could be used to force school districts to make sure the buses run on time.
