Q. I got a note from school that said-
Students that are in grades 6-12 that don't live more that two miles away or children that live across HW 77 or 696 must walk home instead of riding the bus.
Well, does this make sense to you. Oh, yeah, not to mention the scool I attend does NOT provide lockers. So I will have to carry all of my belongings to and from school. AND the kids that are in band have to carry saxs, tubas, and trumpets home. Does that seem fair???

Answer
Nope, it doesn't...what kind of taxes do your parents pay for this? If it's anything like the ones I have to pay (for a school that my son will never even attend)...I'd be asking for an accounting of how money is being spent there. Pronto.
Of course, if money is actually lacking, then the community may need to get together to see what needs to be done. You may want to have your parents check to see if there was recently a referendum that failed, or if your school has lost funding for some reason? (If it's lost government funding, you may want to look twice at being there in the first place...)
But if not, if the school has the funding it needs and is misappropriating it, then something needs to be done to supply the students with at least bussing and lockers. It's not like you're asking for an Olympic-sized pool or anything, but that's kind of ridiculous.
What do you do with your books at school - do they make you carry all of them around with you? Because honestly, that could even present medical risks - your bones and muscles are still forming, and having to carry a large amount of books and such on a regular basis could actually hinder that. (That's why backpacks come with ergonomic straps and such, because more and more kids are ending up with things like rheumatoid arthritis and scoliosis.)
I'd get your parents checking on that, both for your well-being and for the accountability for their tax dollars.
