With you guys talking about the kids riding the school bus or dropping them off. Being born in the 80's a lot of things have changed a lot. Kids don't play outside or go hang out at the electrical box in the neighborhood. I rode my bike everywhere when I was a kid. I don't have kids, so I'm not sure how parents feel about all this now. Most seem against it. When I was a kid, I lived close enough to my school, that I could walk there in 5 minutes. There was a 10' fence in my backyard that separated the school's property from mine. When I started middle school, I had to ride the bus & in high school, I could drive. So what are parents' opinions on riding the school bus versus dropping them off? Do they ride the bus once they are a certain age? The Tracker's live in a gated community. I think the bus wouldn't be able to drive into it. They also live about a mile from the front gate. So, they would have to drive the kids to the gate. As someone mentioned, having a golf cart would solve this problem. (If they are not going anywhere early that day.) Since they already have to drive to the gate, does it make more sense to go ahead & drive the kids to school? Then go to Disney or whatever they are doing that day? I know the Trackers can't be anywhere "on time". So just drop the kids off early. (That may be too hard since Gin doesn't get up early.) My school started at 8:30. We could be there as early as 7. For the most part, you would sit in the gym. If you were in band or theater you would go hang out there. If you bought breakfast, you could sit in the cafeteria. Things may be way different now. I don't know.
Pathetic hypocrites
