It's not like we drive our kids to the bus stop and then sit in the car until they get on the bus.

People very much do that here. I see it literally all the time.

I think that's more about being lazy. You have to make sure the bus actually comes because every once in a while, it doesn't, but most people don't want to stand to wait to make sure the bus came.

Back in my day, if the bus didn't come eventually we'd just walk back home.

And if it doesn't, you still need to get them to school on time. Hence the ready car.

When I was a kid living at home, there was a father who would walk with his two daughters to the bus stop and wait with them there until they got on the bus.

One day a woman came along in her car, slipped into a diabetic coma, and veered towards them.

The father managed to throw one daughter to safety before he and his other daughter were hit.

He survived, but he was left with a limp. You'd still see him walking his surviving daughter to the bus stop in the morning.
