This news is a little older, coming from back in October. Our provincial education system has come up with a first of its kind policy “to eliminate unnecessary idling for school buses and reduce student exposure to harmful air pollutants at and near schools.”
Good idea, right? Well, yeah. But I think they should look a little further if they really want to help. To wit, my own neighbourhood. There’s a large-ish elementary school about two blocks away, around the corner and up the street. The street has lots of suburban houses, loads of kids.
The kids on that street who go to that school get bussed home. Even the kids whose backyards butt up against school property.
Must be nice since I have to walk or drive my daughter to school. We are like 3 blocks away from the school.
Hopefully next yr there will be no driving in early morning to drive child to school. She will just have to walk downstairs in her pj’s
Wonder if I give the complaint I have an allergy to the cold if they will bus her?haha
Can’t see it happening
