GSA needs buses. Every school should have the option of having bus transportation to and from school.
Kelcey Lee, a junior at GSA, agrees that the school needs buses. She doesn’t think it’s right that some schools have buses and some do not.
“Sometimes you can’t rely on a parent or guardian to get you to school and back home everyday. Parents work,” Lee said.
Jakob Nagl, a junior at GSA, agrees that the school needs buses. With parents working morning to night, it can be difficult for them to take their kids to and from school.
“With having buses, the attendance at GSA could go up a great amount,” Nagl said.
Peyton Otis, a junior at GSA, agrees that the school needs buses. It can be hard for her mom to take her to school, because Otis has a little brother and sister. It gets very tricky trying to wake the little ones up, help get them ready and be out the door by 7:25 in the morning.
“Buses would be a great weight off of parents shoulders, because they wouldn’t have to rush in the morning and worry about their kids being late to school,” Otis said.
Nikki Lujan, a junior at GSA, agrees that the school needs buses. Even though she now has a car she said she remembers what it was like always being late because her dad held her up in the mornings.
“It’s not always the kids fault for being late, but we always have to serve the consequence for it,” Lujan said.
Morgan Kobermann, a junior at GSA, is neutral about the school needing buses. She said that she has her own car, so she doesn’t depend on her mom or dad to take her to school anymore.
“Even if we did have buses I wouldn’t want to ride in them,” Kobermann said confidently. “I would rather drive myself to school.”
Chris Mason, a junior at GSA, strongly agrees that the school is in need of buses. Since Mason lives rather far from school it is very hard for him to wake up early and be at school at a decent time so he is not counted tardy.
Savannah Anic, a sophomore at GSA, is neutral about the school needing buses. Anic said that she has her own car but sometimes she gets it taken away when her mom gets mad at her. Even though her mom would take away her car, she still wouldn’t take the bus to school, Anic said. She would just have her mom take her.
“I will not ride the bus to school,” Anic said with sass. “I either have my own car or my mom can take me.”
