Nobody rides the bus any more. Morning rush hour has become ridiculous in front of schools. The volume is overwhelming and municipalities are now forced to provide police to direct traffic in front of schools. Trips that pass schools and should take 10 minutes now take 40 minutes
Let your kids ride the damn bus. If you live within a 1/4 mile of school, let the kids walk. God knows they could use the exercise.
Then the parents are arrested for letting the kids walk to schools. Because it’s more important for the police to make arrests than to walk a beat.
Ride the bus? Works great until some kid pulls a knife on another kid on the bus.
The reason there isn’t enough parking is because of the increasing trend of helicopter parents dropping off and picking up their precious packages from school.
Interesting thought... I happen to drive my grand daughter to school because the bus comes between 6:30 and 7:15 in the morning and I wait for her at the bus stop which is not visible from the house and it arrives between 3:40 and 4:15 PM. Also the bus packs them in three students to the seat. K - 12th grade.
Such is life in a rural county. So if a parent wants to ‘waste’ their precious gas making sure that their kids get to school safely and then back home again. I have no problems with that at all.
