Hee! We live close enough that Meredith can walk if she needs to (and she has). The hassle comes from the number of tardies she's already had. If she has any more before the end of the semester (late January), she gets automatic Friday school (detention from 4-7 on a Friday). She'd have to miss cheering if she got Friday school, and could get booted off the squad. You'd think that would be incentive to get to the bus on time, but apparently it's not enough. *smacks teenagers*
