Did they use one weird trick as well? Will I be shocked by what happens next?
So, the school district’s dispatching decided to make a bus stop at the end of the driveway of a private citizen, and that private citizen decided to make that Bus Stop more comfortable and safer for the kid. Private citizens going above and beyond to provide for and work around bad institutionalized structures or regulations is still the orphan crushing machine at work.
Agreed. All of that should be tax-deductible or something. At the very least. The county or city should be providing safe bus stops.
The issue where I live is, they simply stop at every stop, backing traffic up for miles. It’s illegal to pass a bus, and the bus could probably, after picking someone up, put up a signal to let people pass, but they don’t. I can’t condone anyone who puts kids in danger, but some of that responsibility falls upon the municipality as well for creating the unsafe situation.
Running school buses at the exact time people are going to work is also a really bad idea. For one, there’s more traffic. Two, if people could drop kids off at school on their way to work and pick them up after, it would shift the traffic to non-commute times, increasing safety. But, gas taxes pay for roads, and people use more gas in stop-and-go traffic, so it’s revenue generating. In other words, it’s disgusting, but I repeat myself.
No it’s all feel good vibes! don’t ruin it for them!!!
Idk about other places, but we have this same problem. My kid has to go about 8 houses down to a corner and wait for the bus. My issue is he is the only one and the bus passes directly in front of our house first to get to him. We asked several times why can’t it just be changed to our house for pickup? Nope won’t do it. I get if there were like 5 other kids being picked up, but he’s the only one.
I can also say the house we sit in front is a really bitter old man who hates everyone who goes there (30 min after him there is about 8 kids who get picked up there for another school). He has yelled at everyone before. Definitely not getting benches out of him!
