It's a parenting issue. If your kid can't make it thru the day without destroying or raping, they probably haven't been raised correctly. Time to stop making excuses for these kids.

I totally agree! But if we're looking for practical solutions, getting these kids' parents to start taking responsibility isn't in the realm of the possible. Changing the schedules isn't the best solution, but it might be the best that we can actually do.

Better solution is just to expel the students... then no issue at the bus stop, and the parents can figure out what to do when their kid is home all day.

Except the parents aren't going to figure it out. They will just let them do as they please all hours of the day.

So then kids without a GED end up as tomorrows absent parents. I think you're looking for a simple solution to a systemic issue.

Expelled teenagers don't stay home all day. They'll be right in that same spot waiting for their friends too get it of school.

An atrociously bad suggestion. It's a good thing people like you aren't in charge of this stuff

Time to stop making excuses for these parents. You can’t expect the village to raise your children.
