Yes... and Us as parents dictate that. If you do not feel safe with your kids getting on a school bus then drive them. If you do not feel safe driving them, then keep them home. I drove my kids to school yesterday instead of them taking the bus. We are the parents, and we control what our kids can and cannot do. Everyone wants someone else to make the decision for them, and then blame them if something happens. We are grown adults, and we should be making are own decisions. This can be moved to banter if need be.
