[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t busers be independent?  Confusing to me.

Some of you sound like your kids aren’t this age yet.  They ride their bikes all over (including to school) and they are willing to walk all over the place.  They will easily walk the distance they’re getting bused on the way home.  The bus isn’t the big problem you’re making it out to be.[/quote]

Because WMS is freaking far away, which is why parents were asking for a neighborhood school for a generation.

It’s too far to bike (and very hilly) and long bus ride by the time they are home it’s late. And the late bus was off the charts late, it dropped them off in the pitch dark. [/quote]

It’s too far to bike.  And too hilly.  My teen bikes all over this county.  That what they do once they want to see friends and go places and can’t drive yet.

You people are embarrassing.[/quote]

Biking to school with a backpack of books on a timeline is different than hanging out with Larlo at Sbux.

And middle schoolers aren’t teens. [/quote]

Of course it's ok for recreation and by choice to hang out with friends. But absolutely not ok to force them to do it to get to school. :roll: 
And, fyi, most middle schoolers are actually teens. [/quote]

School ages:

K 5
1 6
2 7
3 8
4 9
5 10
6 11
7 12
8 13

So unless your have a middle school that is over 50% teens, most kids at a middle school aren’t teens. [/quote]

So most of them turn 13 during 7th grade.  During.  My kids turned 13 in November so was 13 most of 7th grade. The only kids not 13 at some point during 7th grade to recap would be July, August, and September birthdays.  So at some points during the school year, sure the school is majority teens.

Stupid thing to argue about but since you very confidently listed the ages for all the grades incorrectly.[/quote]

You enter kinder when you are 5, how is my list wrong? My point is middle
school are not teens so comparing to high school students as PP was is inane. [/quote]
