It’s child abuse to make your kid spend 8 hours of their day every work day on a bus. If you live in the ass end of nowhere find a better way to educate your kids, it’s the price you pay for living away from civilization, like if I choose to live on top of a mountain I won’t be expecting the postal service to climb 3 million steps to get to me.
Okay, how many hours a day should a child spend on a bus before they need to be taken away from their parents? And does that time include the time it would take for a six-year-old to walk down a gravel road in arctic weather?
The same amount a school bus or a regular bus needs to get you to school.
That’s not a number of hours. You said four hours each way was child abuse. So how many hours does a child have to walk and ride a bus before it is child abuse?
Not sure why you hold my opinion on that in such high regard as it doesn’t matter but I would say the commute by bus shouldn’t be over an hour one way and the walk to the bus station shouldn’t be longer than 30 minutes. That would be my ideal at least if I was making any rules.
Got it. My wife was abused and should have been taken away from her mother. She had a 90-minute bus ride, but she didn’t have to walk through arctic temperatures because the bus was required by law to stop outside her house.
I’ll let her know that her mother was terribly abusive to her and cut off all contact with her granddaughter.
Yea, you do that buddy.
Public transit would still be the superior choice to school busses.
Right, because public transit is required by law to stop at every child’s house like a schoolbus. And it would take the same amount or more time because, and I’m not sure you know this, distances don’t get shorter if you use public transit instead of school buses. So I guess kids on public transit are abused too.
Did I ever claim regular busses are faster? They are better because more people can use them, thus lowering the amount of cars on the road which reduces pollution more while not losing much or any utility for kids getting to school.
You seem weirdly upset with the off-hand comment I made that a 8 hour commute every work day would be child abuse. I’m not sure if long commutes cured your cancer or something but chill.
