To me it's ridiculous for 5 year olds to have to get on a bus that early and ride that far to school especially in the winter when it's dark about the time they get home redtiger, BigWinners, Mountain Football and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Lots of small K-3 and Elementary schools with relatively few High schools, that should have been the model but all of the school systems sacrificed the small schools to keep too many high schools open. I've got no statistics to back that up but I believe it. For school/community spirit that's worked out well, for educating children im not so sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel confident it was built as a 1970s shop class project.

Although it's been a few years On the same route I would have caught the bus at 7:40 and got off around 3:50. Now the exact same route has the bus going by my driveway (which is right next door to where I grew up) at about 7 or a few min after and I believe the bus rolls by around 4 or just a bit after.

Jason 299 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 The bus stops at my house at 7 am and back around 4:05 pm going to Gate City. They have to stop at Yuma elementary then switch buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 If anybody should complain about bus trips/time it should be Buchannan Co when they finally consolidate. To me that is a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
