Ever think about how much transportation services 'drives' the school district? Not just in the sense of budgetary considerations, but how about school start times! We've lost our sensibilities when the big yellow vehicles determine that high school students start their education at 7:15am in the morning, when most teenagers are still in the sleep zone! When did we allow learning to take a back seat to the bus schedule? How did education become so devalued that little consideration is made for primary elements of learning?
