> we parents are responsible for transportation, and he’ll never even experience it at all. I’m sure he won’t miss it. Taking a normal city bus home from school was wonderful for me. I think it was the first time I had some independence from my overprotective parents. I could "miss" the bus, which gave me 15 minutes to look round the Warhammer shop (or similar) before the next bus. I could more-or-less spontaneously go to a friend's house and phone my parents from there — they wouldn't be left waiting to pick me up from school.
