[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You leave at X time, and if she's not in the car you leave without her.   Do you have to go straight to work right after dropping them off?
How far is school?   Is it walkable-meaning a safe walk with sidewalks?   If it's less than five miles away with sidewalks, that's walkable.   If it's more than five miles and/or there's no sidewalks, then you drive her after you get back--but no excuse notes.   She takes the unexcused tardy.
At my kid's school, three tardies= detention.   [/quote]

Five miles? Get real.[/quote]

Five miles is real.    Middle schoolers are more than capable of walking five miles.  [/quote]

Inside the beltway?  That’s insane. They would be walking through busy dangerous intersections and sketchy areas, if they walked five miles. It would take hours and hours. [/quote]

I have no idea if OP lives inside the beltway.   I'm just saying that in general, if it's a safe walk, and missing the bus was a consistent problem with my kid, I would have them walk to school when they miss the bus.   I would do that for a distance up to five miles.
OP never said how far the school is from her house.[/quote]
