Buses and Alternative Education

Buses and Alternative Education

 

People have discussed the apparent link between school buses and school schedules for years.   Why are the schools beginning at a particular time?  Why do they end at that time?  Questions parents, students, teachers, and other folks in the community pose quite often.  

 

Well, there is a link. Students need transportation to school, but is it beneficial? Does riding the bus hinder the child’s education?  

 

We were surprised at what we discovered!
