got idiots on here celebrating sending their kids to public schools so they get to ride the bus...wtf?
My kids are in private school and ride the bus. Didn't realize some private schools didn't have bus service.

We were very good friends with Mike Napoli. Pillar of the community.
When he went to work for that CVS on 165 he told us he made more working there for 1 year than he did for 10 at his pharmacy.
Great memories of that place. Balsa wood airplanes, having to pick up L'eggs for my mom (embarrassing) and charging pangburns millionaire to my parents account.
Mike should have gotten a medal for having to deal with 10yos charging a single piece of candy to their parent's account.

We had different lines (1-4) that left through different doors. Funny how proud of your line number you were and "your route home"
Most kids walked. Each lines had bullies that started the year causing trouble. By Halloween one kid finally would have enough and beat his arse, which often resulted in a dog pile of kids he had bullied. Because all the mom's stayed home, the phone calls would begin and by the time I got home I would be interrogated, sometimes even punished having done nothing.
Worse part about my line is it went through all neighborhood and passed no shops - so no stops for candy. I remember paying a friend in Line 3 to grab me some nowandlatters at the drug store.

You could grow old just trying to figure out which one you wanted.

I blame the parents, looking at you CAD
In 5th grade I was stuck going to the school's "aftercare" where they have all of the kids that don't ride the bus home sit in the cafeteria and do homework until enough kids are picked up that we can go outside. My dad used to tell me that when he picked us up and we couldn't go outside, he would always find me beating the teachers at chess.
My kids still aren't at the 5th grade level yet. I tried to teach them how to play chess over the summer and they kept trying to turn it into checkers. So, I started teaching them about how to bait people in checkers.

Took an unairconditioned bus to school. 45 minutes each way.
The bus line was chaos.
Went to an unairconditioned school.
You never forget the smell of that locker room.
Fights were routine. Metal “rakes” were weapons.
Smokers behind the field house every day.
No one, and I mean nobody, got picked up or dropped off. Parents worked (if you had two).
After school snack was whatever you could find in the fridge when you got home.
Then wandered around in the woods.

I think we were in 2nd or 3rd grade when two of my friends decided to climb to the top of two trees that were near the road on the football field. Took a bit for principal to talk them down

Bus rides tend to give young children culture shock nowadays. Not the same experience as during my youth.
