If your kids need to be dropped off then I’m sorry but how does it take that exact 15 minute period every day? Can’t drop them off 15 minutes earlier or later?
The school drop off windows are very strick. They usually cant legally let the children in before a certain time, and if theyre late, then the they get tardies and discipline as theyre missing class. My kids need to be dropped off between 7:45 and 7:55. I have to account for car line. And schools 20 minutes away. If i worked from home, id be spending basically 50 minutes to drop my kids off.
And i only have 1 school to drop off at. Multiple kids of varying ages can easily have multiple schools with varying start times. And not all districts and locations within those districts have busses.
This is what has happened because families need 2 workings parents to function now. In the old times when 1 working parent made enough money to support a family, the other parent would be supporting the kids. We’re basically asking parents with kids to work 3 full time jobs now
Not every district has busses that cover the whole district. Especially as people continue vote down tax levies. You’re also assuming the children are old enough to ride the bus. Less than 4 or 5 isnt an option
Lived in 2 districts that didnt bus for us. 1 we were “too close” so we were cut off the route after they didnt pass a tax levy, so they didnt have funding. Our current location is “too far” so we dont have busses

What happened to walking to school and playing in the yard for an hour untill school starts?
Do they not have busses where you are?
Legit question. Why not use the bus?
( I am assuming it’s available as I’ve never heard of a place that doesn’t have buses. So my assumption could be wrong. )
