Have driven my 5th grader (with special needs) to school every school day for six years now, and my 3rd grader for four. My wife picks her and her sister up every afternoon. Seriously, who is able to administer discipline to children on a school bus? The driver? Doesn’t he/she have to control the actual BUS? No thanks; my kids don’t need to spend upwards of an hour a day in some Lord of the Flies situation.

There are some very good teachers and a first class administration at the girls’ public school. Even then, there’s so much nonsense our kids are exposed to - mainly from other kids whose parents don’t give a rat’s behind. Homeschooling begins in August.

Mr. Holt was my bus driver in elementry school. Great guy as I remember. If we were acting up he'd stand up at the next stop and tell everyone on the bus to settle down and sit down. Those of us who didn't head the warning were marched straight into the principle's office when we got to school that morning, or the next morning if we acted up on the way home. Yelling and stuff didn't bother him, but if we left our seats... I'm 40 years old and still remember him like it was yesterday. Good times.

Join the crowd. You won’t regret it.

If you need any help or advice on curriculum, there’s a whole passel of us homeschoolers to ask.
