I walked or my parents drove me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079426 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 12:46:24 +0000 BoogieBea 1079426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never took the bus either. It was either walk or train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079420 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 12:45:33 +0000 artsyfartsy 1079420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rode the bus home in kindergarten. Then one day the teachers assistant put me on the wrong bus and I got lost for a good 2 hours. When I didn't get off the bus with my sister my dad went berserk and we didn't ride the bus after that. I got dropped off to school by my mom. </p> <p>Then in 3rd grade or so my mom threatened to make us ride the bus to school if we kept sleeping in and making her late to work. She finally did. That lasted about a year. My dad picked me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079399 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 12:40:07 +0000 spinningry 1079399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only in middle school because it was a town away. In elementary one of my parents took/picked me up daily and in high school I rode with friends until I was old enough to drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079308 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 12:20:20 +0000 lilteacherbee 1079308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, my mom always took us to and from school in elementary. In middle and part of high school, I rode with my mom's friend who was a teacher at the middle school. Then, I drove myself and my little sister when I got my license. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079274 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 12:10:59 +0000 MapleMoose 1079274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I lived close enough to all three schools that I was considered a "walker". Our nanny dropped us off and picked us up from elementary school because we were young but otherwise we walked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079269 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 12:07:30 +0000 teamjse 1079269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes in jr high and high school until my parents bought me a car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079198 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:46:17 +0000 nana87 1079198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only took the school bus 1 semester when we temporarily living in a different town, otherwise I walked in elementary and middle school because it was really close to my house. My first year of high school I took a public bus, but after that I changed schools and either bummed a ride home from my parents or friends or walked. Or occasionally took a public bus, but I had to walk like halfway home just to get to the bus stop so I usually just walked. I actually didn't get my driver's license until after graduation! I lived in the center of my town so I could always mooch a ride or walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079187 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:42:34 +0000 NavyRN2012 1079187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rode the bus K-7th grade and hated every moment of it. My children will not be bus riders as it was a very unpleasant experience for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079183 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:40:14 +0000 MediaNaranja 1079183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! My elementary, middle, and high school were next to one another, and all within a 15 minute walk from my house. In high school I sometimes got a ride from friends, but never drove myself since I didn't have a car in HS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079177 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:36:55 +0000 Pepper 1079177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, until I was about 17. I hated the bus. I hated it so much that if LO doesn't like riding it, I'll go out of my way to take him/pick him up from school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079174 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:35:09 +0000 PurplePeony 1079174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, until I got my license and could drive myself. I would still take the bus once in awhile after that, but it was much easier to get myself home from sports practices and games if I drove, and it freed up my parents from having to come get me late in the evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079167 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:31:07 +0000 autumnlove 1079167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In junior high! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079164 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:29:42 +0000 avivoca 1079164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I think it was a good experience. I want my kids to ride the bus, but I'm stuck behind school buses when I am on my way home (at 5:00 pm) that they probably wouldn't ride home unless I'm in a different district. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079125 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:14:13 +0000 Adira 1079125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Every day until my older brother got his license and then he drove me. Though he often did sports after school, so I had to take the bus home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079084 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:55:09 +0000 lovehoneybee 1079084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Off and on until 10th grade, depending on where we lived. When I was really little I could walk with my brothers to school, then we moved and we all took the bus, then I could walk to my junior high, then I rode the bus in 9th grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079061 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:47:23 +0000 BSB 1079061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I was always within walking distance to my schools. I hated walking to school and would always be jealous of kids who rode on the bus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079052 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:44:14 +0000 Dandelion 1079052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, up until my older brother got a license in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079045 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:43:13 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1079045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not once! Walked/rode my bike in elementary/jr high and drove/carpooled in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079043 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:43:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1079043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In Junior High and HS, I took pubic trans- bus or subaway. When we moved in my last year of HS I took the school bus. There was maybe 7 kids on my route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079031 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:38:42 +0000 pui 1079031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In elementary school I did. In high school the bus didn't come my way so I had to take public transit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1079015 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:35:11 +0000 AmandaB8 1079015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a school bus.

I took the school bus from pre-k through 8th grade then the metro bus in high school </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1078836 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:51:43 +0000 marionberry 1078836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bus never came near to my house, so I walked quite a distance to school each day. I would've loved to take a bus instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1078811 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:45:51 +0000 mrskc 1078811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Daycare took us in elementary school until I was old enough to walk myself, then I walked to school until I could drive at 16. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1078808 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:45:27 +0000 mrsjazz 1078808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took the bus from 3rd to 5th grade. After that it was either a walk to school or public transportation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1078806 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:45:08 +0000 wahine08 1078806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in middle school and my first year in high school. I loved it in middle school (we lived pretty far from school, so it was a good time to hang out with friends or catch up on homework!!) but by high school it got old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1078803 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:43:52 +0000 dolphin 1078803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never took the school bus either!<br /> elementary school = walk (10 minute walk)<br /> high school = bus, train, bus (an hour commute) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-take-the-school-bus#post-1078781 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:39:52 +0000 MrsTiz 1078781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in elementary school.
