AIBU to think that 11 year olds should be able to use public transport on their own?
All week I have been hearing Secondary Appeals, and I'm fed up with parents telling us that their child would not be able to get to their allocated school, because they would have to use a bus to get there. Some of these children have apparently never been on a bus.
I live in a moderately sized city, which is well served by buses.
All of our secondary schools are on or extremely close to a bus route. Surely being able to use public transport when needed is a pretty useful life-skill to acquire.
