In this case, who was responsible for getting him off the bus? Was the bus taking him home or to school? If it was taking him home, why didn't the person meeting him at the bus stop respond to him not getting home immediately? When my son was riding the bus, if the bus was more than 10- minutes late, I was calling the school. If the bus was taking him to school, then it is totally the driver's fault.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930376233629623527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-20833168142723667922010-07-10T10:02:33.456-03:002010-07-10T10:02:33.456-03:00How hard is it to walk back and forth and look at ...How hard is it to walk back and forth and look at each seat?
