Cerebral Palsy Party day seven, Front door service : A rant about the importance of being on time to school

          Some  people chose to have their parties at home.    I  had many of childhood birthday parties at home especially  as a toddler.   Now a days people tend to dress up their  front doors to invite guest into their homes




    Something else that comes to the door  daily for many kids with disabilities  weekdays are school buses.   I used to be a rider on these said buses  as a pre school student.  So my memories of them are fuzzy.   I have heard  way too many stories about buses being very late to pick up kids with disabilities.  I am not talking about five minutes or even  ten  minutes late  I am  talking about   45 minutes to an hour late.


    Now  imagine  if you will if this  was a school bus  for   general education students.   I went to an elementary  school that bused kids in from  out of area to the school.  For the most part they were on time,  In fact the school would   announce  on the intercom if the bus was  running late, it was an nor  a  a daily occurrence if the bus was late.  The sad thing is that school buses for people  with disabilities are often times very late in picking them  up.   This happens pretty regularly too.     This is not fair.

Bus companies please  respect  disabled students education and get them to school on time.    It is so important because  they  need the instructional
time  in school like their  able bodied  counterparts.

 My  friend  Cara   wrote something about   the short bus.  Its  great.  You can   read it here
