It is a shame that you think those are good reasons to drive your kid to the bus stop.

I’m not the OP, but my kid’s bus stop is 3 miles away, down a narrow curvy road with no sidewalk or even a shoulder, and the bus picks up while it’s still dark outside. “Kid should walk to the bus stop” is not a one size fits all response.
DP but does your kid go to private school? How is it possible for the school bus stop to be 3 miles away?
No it’s public. In our district students can choose to go to a different school than the one they are zoned for to attend specialty programs.
How far is the school? If I’m driving 3 miles to bus stop I would drive a little further to drop off at school instead.

Agree with others, no driving to bus stop. But if you must drive, you have no business telling others where to park.
So just move on and worry about something else.

If they are old enough to be in this forum, they need less babying bc middle schoolers who get escorted to the bus or school is kinda weird.
Not everyone on this forum has MS kids. A 11 year old or 12 year old could still be in ES due to red shirting, cut off etc.
A 6th grader still needs to be babied too, especially if the stop is close to, or on the main road. No way I would let my kid be by themselves on a main road that early in the morning.
Instead of trolling, if you know the answer to the question, answer it, or go find another thread to argue on.
Well there’s a whole elementary school forum so posting here instead seems like a strange choice, so I’d assume this kid is in middle school.
And what kind of bus stop has no other kids at it? None I’ve ever seen. It’s usually a crowd of kids. Who are totally fine on a main road by the way.
I’m not trolling - i answered the question which was park further away or drop off. Some parents need pushing not to helicopter. My kid was walking to school in 4th and taking the public bus in 7th grade and now she’s the only 16 year old we know that’s managed to get their license and I don’t think this is a coincidence.
This is the TWEEN/Teen forum? You haven't seen any posts from ES parents here?
You gave a solution, but did not answer the question - when a car comes with no way to pass, who should move?
Every parent has their fear and limitations. They know what is best for their kid. My kids walk home sometimes if the weather is good. But if one is sick, I go to pick up. I am not allowing one kid to walk home by themselves with all the stranger danger around.

Park a little further away from the bus stop so you don't have this problem?

Our bus stop is at a T-junction.
In the mornings, we all park before the split (bus comes in opposite direction and then makes a left).
In the evening past few times cars are parked on both sides and not allowing anyone to pass..
So now my question is which side should the cars waiting for the bus park? If cars are parked on both sides of the road facing opposite directions, in front of the stop, who should move when another car comes?
