[quote=Anonymous]If this is a public school, you are dealing with a government-run service. It is often hard to hold these types of employees accountable, especially if they are hard to find (which is often the case with bus drivers who require a clean driving record and who must be available to drive children at an ungodly hour). Understand that you can't count on them even if they feed you a line that they will simply take your daughter back to the school. You should meet with the supervisor and even the principal and schools' superintendent to come up with a contingency plan for situations such as this, such as the bright yellow tape on the back of all kindergarteners' back packs in FCPS.

Meanwhile, like other posters have stated, there's a lot more you should do on your part to prevent your child from coming home alone, such as keeping a phone with you and calling the school (they could've radioed the bus driver), teaching your child to be a lot more assertive and telling the bus driver when she doesn't see you at the bus stop, or teaching your child how to get in the house. Most of all, get your priorities straight and make sure that you will be there for your child. This is only a year of her life and it goes by quickly. You can do this.[/quote]
