Some examples of why that's a bad idea is first, there would be a demand for more buses. Also, the thought of a school telling students that can legally drive that they are not aloud to is a dumb move. Morning's before school can be a hassle. This is another good reason why schools shouldn't have the authority over if a student can drive to school…

    Students should be allowed to drive, even when they live in an area with bus service. If students were forced to ride the bus, not only would it be inconvenient but also unfair. Bus stops within a bus service can either be close to a student’s house or far away. If they are close then it wouldn’t be much trouble to wait for the bus. Unfortunately for those who live a long ways away, it would be inconvenient. If it was freezing cold or it was storming, then those kids would have to endure the…

    A. Summary of my experience My first experience in the wheelchair was Sunday September the 25th when I made a trip to Wal-Mart in Nacogdoches. I got out of my truck and walked to the back and let the tailgate down. I then retrieved the wheelchair out of the back of the truck and then sit down.

The school is gray, dull,…

    Have you ever ridden on a school bus? Most people have. But, did the bus you were on have seatbelts? For most people, the bus didn’t. Some may think that this is not dangerous, or that it is not worth the money, but based footage I have seen, I think otherwise. In the united states, only 6 out of 50 states require seat belts. If that number were increased, the average amount of 11 kids who die due to bus related accidents each year could be brought even lower. When busses get into accidents, it…

    I woke up as the bus trundled down the road through the Ozarks of Missouri in the early hours of a winter’s night; it was frigid. I was wearing only jeans and a flight jacket. In the back of the bus, two old guys shared a paper bag between them. Well, being only seventeen they seemed old to me. The smell of booze and rancid men invaded the bus for a long ride from Kansas City to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri, through the Ozarks. The sun was starting to come up, but the temperature was still below…
