So we got caught in Taft letting out yesterday, and what a cluster.... Dozens, if not a couple of hundred cars lined up in the parking lot of the stadium/school, along with cars in all the other lots, all waiting to pick kids up, nobody could get in or out of Walgreens, cop car had a lane blocked off, just insane. Have seen similar to that at other schools, and am wondering - is busing not happening anymore? Or to a much much lesser degree than it used to? We don't have kids, so we have no first-hand experience of schools nowadays.

When I was in K-12, I lived around NW 63rd/May, walked to my local elementary school, got bused to Longfellow 5th grade center over on Lincoln, got bused to Hoover Middle, then got bused for 9th/10th grade to Northeast High (drove for the last two years). Seems like *tons* of kids get dropped off/picked up nowadays, and a few walk, and maybe a few get bused, but wow, what an incredible waste of time for parents to spend picking up/dropping off, and it screws traffic up soooooo badly, just bizarre that's how things are now.
