Hang on, Arn't we talking about High School students? Surely they are capable of getting themselves to the bus stop without mum or dad holding their hands?
I was perfectly capable, but my parents weren't willing to let me transport myself anywhere until I was 18, then I was allowed to take the bus and I got a car.
I'm determined to let my toddler be independent as he grows, but when I talk to other parents about this, most are convinced that if I let them out of my sight they'll be raped and murdered immediately.
