Why cant school buses ditch kids who are late to the bus at the school? Like on the way home, if a kid is late when all the others arrived to the bus on time, why cant they leave the late kid behind since its not fair to the on time kids to wait?

The majority of kids late to the bus when going home, are late because a teacher caused it, not because they dawdled along. Why should they be punished because a so-called responsible adult made them late?

Should they walk home? Hitch a ride? sleep in the local bus station?

When I was at secondary school, school finished at 3.45pm. My bus left at 4.05 pm. It took 15–17 minutes to get there. Along the route was a train line with the barriers that go down when trains are about to pass. Those barrier went down at 3.58 roughly. If you didn't make it across before the barriers went down, you were a couple minutes late for the bus. So if a teacher kept us behind for 2 or 3 minutes, that made us late. If the barriers went down before we got there, that made us even later.

No kid WANTS to stay at school after being there all day, so if they are running late, theres usually a good reason for it, and leaving them to find an alternative route home, is never a good idea.

And what, pray tell, do you want to happen to the kids you are advocating for being left behind?

We had one driver that would leave on time, regardless of whether or not he could see kids running up from the train barriers. After numerous complaints from parents about kids that got left behind, the bus company told the drivers to wait till the barriers had been up for at least 10 minutes, even though that would make them late.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?
