Pete's in 6th(!) grade now. About the time to start letting him come home by himself, but I'm still apprehensive about it.

Our school district no longer requires an adult to be present when the child is let off the bus starting at third grade. This hasn't been particularly useful yet because there is still another younger than that cut-off. Next year it will be because the oldest will be going to a new school.
We had ‘other-kid-issues’ with Kernel* on the bus while traveling from before and after school care to school in 1st & 2nd grade. I began doing parent drop off and pickup for all of it (&now for both kids) and have never stopped. I don’t think they’ll be bus riders until high school, if ever.
Figured this group might be interested in this one. I'm not much of one for Kickstarter, but I love board games and I love baseball. This plays more like a season sim rather than a game sim like Stratomatic. I'm strongly considering this one
I'm incredibly glad that we moved as close to the school as we did (Aquinas's school assigned laptop was occasionally picking up the school's wireless at home, which was kicking him off of our wireless until I changed the setting). The kids can get themselves to/from school whenever needed, and bringing them is as easy as walking 2 blocks.
And yet the 30-40 minute bus ride each way was a huge part in my education of learning top-40 rock tunes and bungling their lyrics for most of my twelve years of school.
