Okay I work with a guy who has a 4 year old. We had a discussion about riding the bus and how parents do not let their kids do it anymore.
He REFUSES to let his daughter ride the bus when she goes to kindergarten because something bad could happen. So he is going to drive her to and from school every day.
Now I do not have children but I absolutely think that is ridiculous! Kids have been riding the bus for years and they even used to walk to school!
Little kids like the bus and I think it is like a right of passage. I remember the day I first rode the bus in kindergarten and how much I liked to sit with my friends and talk.
He thinks she is going to get kidnapped or the bus driver is going to be a psycho who drinks.
I rode the bus till I graduated high school and can not understand what the problem is!!
Since I do not have kids I was just wondering if anyone felt the same way as him or if they find it as ridiculous as I do.
I think children are sheltered WAY to much these days. The dangers have always been out there it is just that now with all the media we here about it more.
