My children are at a public charter school so the bus is not an option. Other county school systems offer bus rides to students at public charter schools but Wake Co does not. But as I recall my experiences in riding a school bus in Wake County, I'm okay with driving my girls to school. I'm shocked that the public school system & parents think it's okay to have an adult in charge of 30+ students while operating heavy equipment. They would never tolerate those ratios in Wake county while they are sitting still in a classroom.

Three of my kids attend schools that don't provide public transportation to our house (two kids go to a charter school; one goes to a magnet school out of our district). Yes, it's about a half hour commute each way. Yes, it gets old quickly. Yes, I pay a lot for gas. But, these are great schools for my kids, and seeing them thrive makes it worthwhile.
