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?

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.

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.

Why does my best friend call me ugly and act like she’s joking, but today she looked at me and said “I wouldn’t lie to you”? What should I say back to her?

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

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

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?

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.
