[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]questioning the policy -- the question you will have to raise is what order should the schools start.  current order is High School, Middle School, Elementary School.  There is only one fleet of buses, and the three levels need to be staggered.  There is a whole lot of ripple effects of changing the school start / finish times -- athletic practices change times, arts & drama change times, etc. etc.  I think you will get a couple people to nod, that is all[/quote]

Funny I hear posters here claiming "the school is not a daycare" but they have no problem with the school being their kids taxi.  I for one am not counting on the school bus, the elementary schools are typically much closer to you than a highschool and I don't want my DD on the bus with unknown older juveniles.[/quote]

There's a difference between compulsory education and expecting the provision of transportation to meet that requirement and expecting the school to care for your child outside of normal school hours.

Honestly, a lot of parents feel entitled to low-cost care or free care before and after school when one parent could fulfill their parenting duties and actually care for their child.

Its awkward interacting with you when you keep throwin up the straw man of care outside of normal school hours when i clearly have stated several times in this thread I don't expect longer hours nor do I want my DC to be any form of school supplemented before or after care.  Whole purpose of the thread...[/quote]
