Dear Editor
Dear Dina the Driver,
I read your letter on the last edition of Baltimore Jewish Home. It’s quite apparent that you’re having difficulty dealing with the process of organizing carpools for your kids. As per your request, here are some tips for making things a drop easier, but it requires some introspection: 1. When it is your turn to drive, do you pick up the kids late? 2. When the carpool arrives at your home are your kids ready to go? 3. Is your car clean and ready when you arrive? 4. Do you sometimes drive a little too fast, or are not careful with boosters or seatbelts? 5. Are you willing to help if another driver is unable to drive?

I’ve found that people have difficulties with carpooling if any of the above questions are not given the “carpool preferred” answer. No one is perfect but using these questions as a guide should help you with your experience. Wishing you the best of luck!

Dear Editor,
Dena the Driver has sparked a huge discussion amongst my friends and I. A simple solution exists to this entire carpool dilemma, are you ready for it? BUSSING. Yes, I said it. Not a city bus, just regular classic yellow school buses with a bus monitor bringing our children to and from school. No carpools to arrange, and no long lines of cars waiting to enter and exit the school campus. Has this been addressed before? I am sure many parents in all the schools would very much appreciate bussing. How can we open this conversation in our schools? For those of us with children in several schools with the same dismissal times, I think it would be a popular service.
A Pro Bus Mom To Y.L.
