In middle and high school we will probably drive there and if I'm still teaching at the same school, in middle school they can walk to my school in the afternoon and we can drive home together. In high school, they will hopefully go to the school where I teach. We are considering moving to a different town, though, so then they would go to school out there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-to-elementaryjuniorhigh-school#post-1867925 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 10:36:58 +0000 chopsuey 1867925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>elementary: walked, bus, dropped off by parents or friend's (neighbor's) parents. </p> <p>jr. high: walked</p> <p>high school: walked, got dropped off, drove. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-to-elementaryjuniorhigh-school#post-1867921 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 10:35:57 +0000 avivoca 1867921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elementary School: 1st - Bus, 2nd - Walk, 3rd, Bus<br /> Middle School: Bus<br /> High School: Bus</p> <p>I did not have my license in high school, so I rode the bus until the very last day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-to-elementaryjuniorhigh-school#post-1867906 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 10:32:18 +0000 NavyRN2012 1867906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elementary school- bus. 1st year of Jr. high- bus, then parents dropped me off.

I walked 3/4 of a mile to a subway stop in queens and then took 2 subways to get my school. It took about an hour but this very normal for Brooklyn and Queens commutes. I sort of can't believe it looking back now. Senior year I took my mom's car (as she commuted into Manhattan from Queens) and drove which was much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-to-elementaryjuniorhigh-school#post-1867705 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 09:40:06 +0000 Anagram 1867705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took the school bus when I was really young. When my mom started teaching at my school we all rode together.

For the first couple years, my mom dropped us off at the school's latchkey program and we hung out and played there before and after school until she could pick us up. Once she got hired as a teacher and had to arrive even earlier and stay later, she hired a babysitter who walked us to and from school. Last couple years we walked our selves.</p> <p>Middle school - Walked</p> <p>High school - Walked. Once I had my license I started driving, which is ridiculous because we literally lived across the street, but I'd pick up my friends who lives further away because there were no buses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-to-elementaryjuniorhigh-school#post-1867632 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 09:16:51 +0000 .twist. 1867632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elementary: Early years - daycare drop off; Later years - walked.<br /> Middle School - Bussed it.<br /> Highschool - Caught a ride with my mom downtown and then took a train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-to-elementaryjuniorhigh-school#post-1867631 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 09:16:49 +0000 nana87 1867631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up in a small city.

I lived in the same neighborhood, it was a ~15 minute walk. In high school I would sometimes catch a ride from a friend who lived in the same neighborhood, and sometimes I took the city bus since there was a stop at the end of my street. I never took the school bus!! My parents would only take me in rare circumstances--if I had a project or something that would be hard to carry, or if the weather was extreme (snow wasn't extreme, but crazy blizzard conditions were). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-to-elementaryjuniorhigh-school#post-1867600 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 09:08:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1867600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elementary- parents car...city</p> <p>Junior high- public transportation, 2 buses...city</p> <p>High school- school bus...suburbs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-to-elementaryjuniorhigh-school#post-1867599 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 09:08:18 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1867599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom always took us to school &amp; picked us up.

I seriously hated the bus &amp; made no effort to be friends with any of the other riders lol </p>
