Still, it had an underlying tone of anxiety. As though 11 and 12 year olds taking public transit was something scary and overwhelming. But why?

I wonder if it's a spin on another story, but there is a CBE parent who is opposed to paying the noon hour supervision fees now that the students have to take public transit to school. Her reasoning, if they are old enough to take transit by themselves to school, they are old enough to eat lunch without supervision.
