If your house is too close to the school, they don't offer a bus.  I think my kids would be fine walking home, as long as an adult was in the house to meet them, but my wife thinks they'll get lost or kidnapped.  So we pick them up.  And yeah.  The school tried to run the car line efficiently, but parents still show up 45 minutes early.

My bus stop was the school Ted Bundy kidnapped Kimberly Leach from and that was only four years after the fact. All the kids from the area caught busses to their respective schools from that location so me and my sister weren't the only ones but it seems weird now to think about it. 

I actually went to that school when I reached that grade and they were all about telling us the story and that we had to have a buddy to walk around campus with. We were never allowed to walk alone. Eventually the school board consolidated that grade with another in a different location. I think the building is used for the county school system.
