How little the health of students counts compared to the whims of their parents.
When did it became a right for parents to put their kids on a bus? They wait on the sidewalk, the big yellow truck comes by, they get on it. It's not that hard. I managed to do it without parental intervention every day from 2nd grade on (legally required before that where I grew up), because my parents' work schedules conflicted with the bus schedule.
And I'm not some old-timer complaining about kids these days, I'm < 30 and I still remember being completely unable to fall asleep before 1am as a teenager and being expected to wake up at 6:30 and go work for 14 hours a day. On behalf of their kids, fuck all of these parents.

Shuffling schedules makes things very bad for parents with few opportunities (due to having insufficient negotiating power in the labor market). And there are certain things to do with kids in the morning, other than putting them on the bus. That said, I got only a wake up from Mom and Dad when I was in elementary school, and later only the alarm clock did that.
