Huh?

Sandy's high school has been offering a program after school to help students who want help with core subjects-Math, World Geography, English ect. The program offers teachers and students who can help tutor kids who need help. These people are available in the library from 4:15 when school is dismissed to 6:15. Busses are provided to bring students home. Sandy has been taking advantage of this program for the past three weeks or so. When she started staying late she would walk through the door about 6:45. We were not too happy with this time frame but we did notice right away that Sandy was turning in her homework and thus bringing up her grade in World Geography and was getting additional help with Algebra, which has helped keep her grade at a even level. However as time went by she was slowly getting home later and later. At first we thought that she had taken off on us. This was on a day that Mike & Sandy had gotten into a fight before she left for school. As it turned out she was on the bus, it was just that the bus had alot of kids who needed to be dropped off. Well tonite she didn't get home until 7:45. Sandy told us that the bus driver lets off each student riding the evening bus at their home. Mike and I admitted that as much as we like having her take the bus at night, it was time for us to pick her up at 6:15. Thank goodness we now have a car to do this with. For about two months we were without any transportation. We sent an email to the 9th grade principal complaining about the late drop offs and suggesting that maybe a second bus would be advisable. Each grade has it's own principal. That is a first for us. Sandy's principal sent us an email back saying that there is not enough students riding the bus home each night to warrant another bus. Excuse me? This program runs until 6:15. Sandy's bus route is the longest route on the school run. The bus driver lets off each student at their house. Sandy isn't getting home until a minimum of an hour and a half after she is dismissed and I am certain that she is not the last student that is dropped off. By the time she finishes eating it is after 8 p.m. Her bedtime has been moved from 8:30 to 9:00. At this late hour her Adderall is no longer in her system, which means she can't stay focused on her homework. This principal was also yelping at parents the importance of students getting 8-10 hours of sleep a day. You do the math. And she can sit there and tell us that this doesn't warrant another bus? Again, what is wrong with this picture.
