I really don't mean to scare you, but sometimes there are older boys on the bus, think 4th or 5th graders that bully the younger boys very badly. They are very smart and make sure not to get caught, even if there is a bus monitor on the bus. It happened to my son. After a year, I let him walk home with a friend, even though I wouldn't usually let a third grader walk home. But it was the lesser of the two evils.

Sounds like the kid’s problem is that he is expected to transition from classroom to bus on his own, at the age of 6. But I doubt he knows what the word transition means.


I mean, I don't disagree. I was in public elementary school and I'm pretty sure we went to the buses in lines led by teachers all the time we were there.

You're using primary so I'm assuming it's Lakewood. Are there older boys on the bus? Many schools, primary is just by themselves, or maybe with 1st grade.

But I would talk again to the school, teacher, principal, etc. Primary children should not be responsible to get them so on the bus. They can't even read yet, at least not well enough to know which bus to get on.

Right what happens when a kid gets on the wrong bus? What a crazy system.

When my dd was 7 she got off at the wrong stop a few times. It was very scary for me and her. I called the bus company to complain and they said it’s my responsibility as a parent to make sure she gets off safely. I wanted to know how to do that when I had no way of controlling when she got off too early? They basically shrugged. BH she learned to wait until I got her off the bus.

It’s a miracle bad things don’t happen from the bus.

What happens when he misses the bus?
Who does he tell? Does he call you? Is he sad?

You need to be on the school about this, they are responsible here. I work in a school office and oversee both dismissal shifts every day. We go up to 8th grade. Until 3rd grade, the kids are lined up and escorted by teachers to their buses. Attendance is taken when they line up and then taken AGAIN after they are on the bus to make sure there weren't any stragglers along the way. Even grades 4-8, where the kids go to the buses themselves, we still get onto the bus and take attendance to make sure everyone who's supposed to be on there is on there before allowing the bus to leave the lot. This is completely unacceptable, and it's the school that's messing up here. You need to address this with the school.

The school is responsible here. I would request that they have someone accompany him to the bus every day.
