I, along with many parents, have a gripe with some of these K runs.
Is 45 minutes on a school bus too much for kindergarteners? When, they could be dropped off within 2 minutes.

The route has me passing all of these stops, going around town, then coming back to the stops, keeping these kids on the bus.

Yesterday, they were on for about an hour, they were very patient. I kept telling that too the kids, but i think that word isn't in their vocab. I am going to try to get this route re-arranged to make more sense. That's another thing wrong about these computer systems that map out routes, it doesn't care how long someone is on the bus!

Most of the parents were very understanding, thankfully.

What do you all think, is 45 minutes -55 minutes too long for K children?

As long as you make the trip as short as possible, there is nothing you can do.

Perhaps they are reducing the number of kids crossing the road?
