buck, did you walk to school? are you worse off for it?
i may not have kids, but i used to be a kid, and i walked my ass to school. if my parents thought it was a rough day, theyd take me to school, or at least to the bus stop. hell, they even made arrangements for me to ride with someone else if they just couldnt manage it. granted, i had shitty parents, because one of them was a drug and alcohol addict, and the other worked in indianapolis, so its not like he was around much. most days, it was just me and some friends, poundin the pavement.
it should not be the governments job to see that your kid gets to school. thats YOUR job.
