Well, I just started teaching in a year-round school and the busses have been showing up 30 minutes after school gets out all month-which to me is crazy. The last two days it was after 5. The kids were starving-imagine what time they got home.
I'm not suggesting their isn't a problem - just suggesting caution for those who want to use the busing issues as proof that the school choice plan is flawed. I think the busing problems are caused by a number of factors - perhaps most significantly the fact that the county has fewer buses but more students.
Drive your kids to school everyday. I did it for my daughter k-12 and we had the best times. You can't buy memories.
Bwahahaha! Because I am SO much fun at 6:45 in the am when blearily make my way through the ridiculously long drop off lane, then stagger back to bed for another hour and a half of sleep.
If the school is near a shopping center or something, I almost wonder if it would be faster to park your car and just walk your kid up to the school than sit in the carpool line. All the schools I went to in Wake County though were nowhere near a place you could park and do that. Maybe some of the newer schools have that option?

If there were somewhere nearby to park-n-walk I would probably do that, but there's not.
As far as driving for the memories, that gave me a laugh. Their memories would be of me cursing the carpool line that stretches half a mile up the road. When all is said and done the bus gets into the lot faster.

Hahahaha!! I am sooo getting a kick out of some of these threads. Making me more and more excited to get there because there are REAL people there! YAY!!
It seems Tedesco bailing to run for Superintendent of Public Instruction was aptly timed.
