Comment on School pickup lines are wild

  I used to live there (16 miles out of town, in the sticks) and the school bus still came. I had to walk a mile to get to the stop, because they didn’t like dirt roads. But then I got chased by a dog and my parents complained to the right people so I only had to walk like 1/4 mile to the stop from then on.

  But yeah, that’s probably still not an option everyone

  Looks like some of the trucks in my suburban neighbourhood that have never carried anything bigger than a Costco bag of dog food and an ikea chair, nor have they ever been more off road than parking on the grass at the park.

  My kids can’t ride the bus because they are “too close” to school, except it’s 1.6 miles away on a busy road with patches of no sidewalks. It would be trivial to have a bus drop them nearby but they instead want to waste the time of hundreds of parents every single day.

  The only place they could afford & it’s got all the comforts of an outhouse.

  I lived 15 km from my school and I took the bus.

      I was, for that school actually. Next farm over was a different school and across the street was a different one again. But instead of not sending a bus like this person suggests it would’ve just been a different bus from a different direction.
