alphacyberrangerKentucky's largest school district had to cancel class for two days so it could overhaul a 'disastrous' new bus system that left kids on buses until 10 p.m.
alnilamAfter clicking on several of the many, many links in that article, that without exception all lead to completely unrelated topics, I’m still left with the question: what was the reason kids were stuck on the bus till 10p.m.?
Yeah I find the idea of that happening very unlikely. You’d think the parents would hunting down their kids before that happened.
I’ve initially had the same reaction but on second thought probably not everybody can afford to drop everything and go looking for their kid. Assuming of course they cared, they were told about it etc.
The linked article is terrible, I’ve linked a few better ones. Not all kids got home at 10 PM, that was just the last of them.
My kid is in high school, and they communicate about emergencies through text, email, and automated calls. There are lots of jobs, especially low-paying ones, that will not let you check your phone during your shift, and they’re certainly not going to be okay with you leaving early to go pick up your kid. If the choice is “leave to pick up kid (who you know is safe with teachers), get fired,” versus “leave kid (who you know is safe with teachers), keep job,” it’s pretty simple math.
