I don't really mind the money considering gas prices and my kids jr high is about a 15 minute drive...long story but we bought in an expensive neighborhood that knew they wouldn't get the outragous prices for the houses if they went to the closer jr high...anyhow the issue I have is the afternoon driver is new and a total jerk, my daughters friend was late to get to the bus and he had just closed the doors (her fault I realize) but the jerk started to laugh at her...he just totally lowers himself to their level.
