Kids are terrible on the bus. No thanks.

It's not like your kids aren't seeing the same behaviors AT school, silly.

We are the “walk zone” and our route is just over a mile and requires crossing the main road in/out of the subdivision which although it was a 35 mph speed limit (and 25 during arrival and dismissal) people fly on that road. There is no crossing guard because there is a dilapidated old tunnel on the opposite site of the school entrance from us that kids could use instead.

That being said, I sign my kids up as “walkers” and park nearby to avoid the ridiculous carline.
