Happy First Day of School! D:

So today as I'm waiting for my dad to drive me in to work, a little girl, Latino, dressed to the nines in a nice black skirt and shirt and carrying a pink vinyl backpack, pauses in front of me and asks me where 1802 Hilliard Road is, because that's where her bus stop should be. It's her first day at her new junior high school, and she's not sure

an 11 y/o in junior high... expected to get there on her own on the first day? i doubt the parents care much how she got there if they let that go on. weird... in canada you are only in grade 5 or 6 when you are 11... years from junior high.

I know, they really should have checked out her bus stop beforehand. In America junior high is 6-8th grade and high school is 9-12th grade.
