If one can take a long bus trip there's no problem. *The nearest bus
stop to any school around here is about 5 miles from the school. *One
has to walk both ways if one doesn't have a car.

If you are truely interested in you child's welfare and don't want a $500
fine you will find a way to get there. *Plain and simple.



So how does someone with no car and limited income get to a school
that does not have a bus stop nearby?

Come on THINK, *the first thin that comes to mind is to ask for a freind or
neighbor for a ride.



There are going to be a million other reasons this would be inconvenient
for
the parents. *My suggestion is to take steps to see to it that your child
stays out of trouble.

Like what? *When some bully punches your kid out and your kid is
accused by the bully and his friends of starting the fight, how can
anything you do prevent that?

Were you one of those people that always needed some one else to solve your
problems.

Are you one of the people who cannot understand that others do not
have the resources that upper-middle class families have, including
friends who can give rides? On one point, you want someone to ask for
help. On another, you want them to solve their own problems.

That doesn't make any more sense than does legislating attendance at
school meetings..
