Hey, She’s Only 5 Years Old!!!

What, exactly was the school district of New Rochelle, NY thinking?

It appears that the policy for dropping children off a school bus is to simply leave them, even if no parent is there to meet them. We’re not talking teens, we’re talking as young as five.

While the school district will now re-visit that policy in light of the news story that broke, it makes one wonder exactly such a thing could even occur.

So during the same week that Chubb goes over the top trying to stop a law firm from blogging because of too much imagined risk, a school district is found to have not even considered risk for its youngest students. A little common sense on both ends seems to be in order.
