I walked about a mile and half to school from 5th - 7th grade with my buddies.
In high school I took the public bus home. It didn't go all the way to my house. I'd have about a mile walk from. The bus stop to my house.
Kids and parents are soft these days.

We drove our substitute bus driver so crazy that she dropped us off in the wrong neighborhood. We had to walk through the woods to get to our neighborhood.

What school system would that be?
Every system that has a zero tolerance policy for its students for any reason.
Kid calls another kid a nerd for answering all the questions in class. Superintendent: kid is Expelled. Zero tolerance bully policy. No questions, no investigation, no exceptions. Kids life is most likely fricked.
Bus driver throws a kid out the bus 3 miles from home. Superintendent: Kid should've known where he lives. Dumbass. Plus like everyone else was fine. Everyone keeps their jobs.

We had 1,700 kids get home safely on the first day of school. Only one child did not get delivered to the right address. My staff goes above and beyond to make sure the kids arrive home safely. The child did not know his address so they had to use what we had in the system. A mistake was made when the bus driver did not follow protocol and made the student get off the bus. But the parents should teach their kids their address. Every child should know their address by the third grade.”

Louisiana considers recommending restorative practices, ending zero tolerance in schools
“In addition to reducing the reliance of schools on zero-tolerance policies and exclusionary forms of discipline such as suspension and expulsion in response to offenses that do not present a major threat to the safety of a school, HB 646 promotes wherever possible the use of restorative practices and other measures designed to promote positive school climates. Recent research is very clear that this approach creates safer schools in which students can succeed in a variety of measurable ways.”

I swear I'd go over to the bus drivers house and get arrested after I beat him or her senseless for dropping my kid off 3 miles from home.
Then I'd bitch slap the superintendent when I got out of jail.
Yes you have a badass over here.
All the shite we as parents have to worry about with our children in this world and the dumbfrick bus driver drops kid off and stranger has to bring the kid home.... Really? GTFO

The entire busing situation nationwide is ridiculous.
It's putting children at risk.
I drive almost an hour to work each day. I see kids waiting for the bus out in the countryside at 6:15 am, when the sun is barely coming up.
One in particular, there were two little girls, maybe 3rd or 4th graders, waiting for the bus, it's still semi-dark. They are at the end of their driveway, easily 500 feet from the house, out in the middle of nowhere.
I wouldn't want to be a parent in that situation.

Last year my son's elementary school sent a nine year old boy to the alternative, i.e. juvenile delinquent, school for 30 days because he brought a spent shot gun shell that he found on the ground to school. It was a harmless empty shell casing but zero tolerance for weapons in school got an innocent little boy, who had never been in trouble before, sent to the same school where they take the serious discipline and behavior problem kids. It was absolutely stupid.
