When kids turn the age you have to send them to school, some times parents cant drive them to and from there every day like when so many of your kids are at different schools and you have to be at work by 8.

So they have to ride the bus even though it costs so much. You just have to make it work out though even if the kids cry and are scared of the big bus.

Show the kids where the bus stop is and how to walk there. Go with them the first day if you can.

Tell them what time the bus gets there and what time they need to leave the house to get there on time.

Tell them when they get on to sit in a seat and stay in a seat and not be one of those wild kids always jumping from seat to seat making it a real safety hazard which could get them kicked off the bus, then what would a parent do?

Tell them when they get off to not walk behind the bus instead in front.

They should never talk to the driver because you really don't know him unless you met him before somewhere. Anyway, the driver needs to drive.

Tell them to be careful of bullys on the bus. Tell your kids to just ignore them so they don't get picked on and upset before they even get to the school doors. The driver doesn't have time to take care of those problems it is up to the kids to deal with it because it happens on every bus.

Last of all remember that you are lucky the school has busses to take your kids to school so its so important to make sure your kids behave on the bus or you will pay the consequence and have to some how take them yourselves even if you have work you will have no choice.
