I was….surprised!
My youngest son is the only child that gets off the bus at his bus stop. I am down there every day to pick him up, but I have often wondered what would happen if I was ever running a little late or wasn’t down there to recieve him. Well the other day I wasn’t down there to get him (I had maded arrangements with another mother to grab him), so I did wonder if the bus driver would just let him off or if he would question as to why I wasn’t there. Well let me tell you that I was quite impressed! After I got to the bus stop and seen my son I asked her if the bus driver just let him off. She said no that he didn’t. He stopped the bus and asked her if Daniel was going with her. When she said yes, he then let him off the bus. So all my wondering and worrying was for nothing. As I now know that if something ever happened that I wasn’t at the bus stop the bus driver would not let him off by himself and he would take him back to the school. I feel better knowing that the kid will be safe until either I grab him or a friend grabs him.
But, I have to tell you that I don’t think this would happen very often as my son was quite annoyed that I wasn’t there to greet him. LOL
