I think kids do need to be sheltered to some extent. I was sent to high school in downtown DC. I'm glad I was at least 14-15 when I started having to take the metro, run from mean homeless guys, and get held up at knife/gun point. I don't think it would have worked out so well if I was sent downtown at age 5.
In other words, I think you start out sheltered, and slowly remove the protective shield that we all install on our newborn babies.
I totally disagree with the idea of having 1st graders on the same bus as 11th graders. That's crazy.
My school had grades K-12 in the same building. We all rode the same buses. Nobody died. You city folk are pussies.
Same building is different, there, you at least have teachers to protect you
School buses are like "Lord of the flys" rules
Riding on a school bus, as a elementary school student, with high school students gave me alot of vital life lessons and made me the person I am today.
