• 1.提到孩子坐校车应该关注的12个问题。之前孩子乘坐校车出过不少事，国家治理后，基本正规。校车在城市交通中是具有绝对的优先权。
• 2.顺便提一句，这个verywellfamily还有其他关于家庭的系列文章，应该不错。
• 3. 初一英语下册 有个how do you get to school的主题。
     用到几个短语或词。特别是ride这个词有不同词性。
• 4. 这也让我顺便想起了T大学的校车。校车的多条线路分别用不同颜色来命名。如purple/blue/red等，分别对应不同的路线。如有专门去Walmart的路线。这条线路还经过一个RV park。有学生就租住那里。我一直疑惑为什么要租住在那里？是会更便宜还是？
     如：

12 Questions to Ask About Your Child's School Bus Ride

孩子坐校车应该关注的12个问题

Many special education students ride the bus to school, but parents often don't know basic facts about their child's commute. For example, do you know just where your child is going, who's going along and what happens when they get there?

Here are 12 questions parents should ask about a child's school bus ride, both before that first trip and throughout the school year.
许多特殊教育学生乘坐公共汽车上学，但家长往往不了解孩子上下班的基本情况。 例如，您是否知道您的孩子要去哪里、跟谁一起去以及他们到达那里时会发生什么？

以下是 父母 在第一次旅行之前和整个学年期间应该询问孩子乘坐校车的 12 个问题。

1

What Time Will the Bus Come?

You should receive notification about bus arrival times before your child's first school day, but it's not unheard of for that word never to get out. Sometimes, the transportation department never gets notified that your child's due for pick-up. Don't be afraid to check on this in advance.

Ask the special education department the contact for bus scheduling and call that person ahead of time to make sure your child is on the list. Find out when you should expect your pick-up time notification as well. And if you don't get a response, call again. And again.

Be polite but be persistent. Waiting until the first day of school to lodge your complaint means your child will probably miss the bus.

公共汽车几点来？

您应该在孩子上学的第一天之前收到关于公交车到达时间的通知，但“永远不会出去”这个词并非闻所未闻。 有时，运输部门永远不会收到您的孩子需要接机的通知。 不要害怕提前检查。

向特殊教育部门询问巴士调度的联系人，并提前致电该联系人，以确保您的孩子在名单上。 了解您何时应该收到接机时间通知。 如果您没有得到回复，请再次致电。 然后再次。

要有礼貌，但要坚持不懈。 等到开学第一天才提出投诉意味着您的孩子可能会错过校车。

Who Will Be on the Bus With My Child?

Most special education buses will have a driver and an aide, and you'll usually have the same pair pulling up to your house every day. Get to know these folks. Ask for their names and make sure they know yours.

If there's particular information you need them to know—about a medical problem or a behavioral tactic, for example—make sure they have that information and be prepared to provide it yourself. Being on friendly terms with the bus personnel and appreciating that they often have a very difficult job can buy you and your child some goodwill.

Let them know you want to hear about any problems, and do the same for the afternoon crew if it's different.

谁将和我的孩子一起上车？

大多数特殊教育巴士都会有一名司机和一名助手，而且您通常每天都会有同一对巴士到您家门口。认识这些人。询问他们的名字，并确保他们知道你的名字。

如果您需要他们了解特定信息（例如，关于医疗问题或行为策略），请确保他们掌握这些信息并准备好自己提供。与巴士工作人员保持友好的关系并欣赏他们经常从事非常困难的工作可以为您和您的孩子带来一些善意。

让他们知道你想听听任何问题，如果下午的工作人员有不同的话，也可以这样做。

3. How Will My Child Stay Seated?

If your child is very small or has low muscle tone, you'll want to make sure an age-appropriate car seat is specified in the IEP. Call before the first day of school to make sure it will be aboard the bus.

For older children, ask about seat belts or other restraining devices, and if you are not comfortable with them, speak to your IEP team about how these devices aren't suitable for your child's disability.

Alternatively, for kids in wheelchairs, check ahead of time to ensure that the bus personnel has the equipment necessary to get your child on and off the bus and keep the chair restrained onboard.

Never assume that circumstances will be as you expect. Call the transportation department and verify.

3. 我的孩子将如何保持坐姿？

如果您的孩子很小或肌肉张力低，您需要确保在 IEP 中指定适合年龄的汽车安全座椅。在开学第一天之前打电话，以确保它会在公共汽车上。

对于年龄较大的孩子，询问安全带或其他约束装置，如果您对它们感到不舒服，请与您的 IEP 团队讨论这些装置如何不适合您孩子的残疾。

或者，对于坐轮椅的孩子，请提前检查以确保巴士工作人员拥有让您的孩子上下车所需的设备，并将椅子固定在车上。

永远不要假设情况会如你所料。致电运输部门并核实。
4.## Which Route Does the Bus Take to School?
The school your child attends may seem like a straight shot, but if the bus is picking up a full load of kids, it may make quite a lot of detours along the way. Knowing the route can have a number of benefits: You learn where your child's classmates live; you can point out landmarks from the ride when you see them around town; you have a clue where your child might be if the bus is hung up; and you'll know to complain if the route is too circuitous.

You may not be able to get official notification of where the bus goes after your child boards, but that's easily remedied. Just follow the bus to school on the first day.
4.## 校车去学校的路线是什么？
学校 您的孩子[参加](https://www.verywellfamily.com/types-of-schools -for-children-with-special-needs-4148478）可能看起来很直截了当，但如果公共汽车载满了孩子，那么沿途可能会绕很多弯路。知道路线有很多好处： 您可以了解孩子的同学住在哪里；当您在城镇周围看到它们时，您可以指出骑行中的地标；如果公共汽车挂了，您知道您的孩子可能在哪里；如果路线太迂回，你会知道抱怨。

您可能无法获得关于您的孩子登机后公共汽车去向的官方通知，但这很容易解决。第一天就跟着公共汽车去学校。
5.## What Time Does the Bus Get to School?
Don't assume that the bus gets to school at the perfect time for a smooth transition into the school day. Some buses may arrive so early that your child has large stretches of unstructured time to kill before class or so late that a morning routine is thrown into disarray.

Traffic and weather being what they are, it's impossible to ensure punctuality each and every day of the school year. But if the bus's on-schedule arrival time is very early or late, that can negatively affect your child's school day.

This is where good relationships with teachers and bus personnel pay off. Ask them what time the bus gets to school. They may be as unhappy with it as you are.
5.## 校车几点到学校？
不要以为公共汽车在完美的时间到达学校，以便顺利过渡到上学日。有些公共汽车可能来得太早，以至于您的孩子在上课前有大量的非结构化时间可以消磨，或者太晚以至于早上的例行公事被打乱。

交通和天气就是这样，不可能确保学年的每一天都准时。但是，如果公共汽车的准点到达时间很早或很晚，这可能会对您孩子的上学日产生负面影响。

这是与教师和巴士工作人员建立良好关系的地方。问他们公共汽车什么时候到学校。他们可能和你一样不满意。

Where Do Kids Go When They Get Off the Bus?

Ideally, your child would go directly from the bus to the classroom that has been mandated as the most appropriate placement in the school. And if your child has a one-on-one aide, that individual would be present at that time. But things are very often not so ideal.

Your child may go into an auditorium or hallway or outdoor area for the time between bus and bell, and some aides may not go on duty until well after that time. If that will leave your child at risk of mistreatment or behavior problems, ask if other arrangements can be made.

There may be a protected spot that children with special needs can go to or someone who can watch your child during this time. Have any arrangements spelled out in the IEP and make sure they're in place on Day 1.
6

孩子们下车后去哪里？

理想情况下，您的孩子会直接从校车前往被规定为学校最合适位置的教室。如果您的孩子有一对一的助手，那个人当时会在场。但事情往往不是那么理想。

您的孩子可能会在公共汽车和钟声之间进入礼堂、走廊或户外区域，而一些助手可能要在此之后很久才去执勤。如果这会使您的孩子面临虐待或行为问题的风险，请询问是否可以做出其他安排。

在此期间，可能会有有特殊需要的孩子可以去的受保护的地方，或者有人可以照看您的孩子。在 IEP 中详细说明任何安排，并确保它们在第 1 天就位。

How Many Buses Are My Child's Classmates On?

On the one hand, it's great if the whole class is on one bus because then there aren't multiple arrivals disrupting the class in the morning. Also, if the bad weather holds up a bus, nobody misses anything.

On the other hand, that means the bus is likely pretty full and your child's trip will take longer. It's good to know one way or another because it can help you better discuss the day's happenings with your child. You may find that your child memorizes which students are on which bus and the number of the bus they're on.
7

我孩子的同学在几辆公共汽车上？

一方面，如果整个班级都在一辆公共汽车上，那就太好了，因为这样早上就不会有多个人来打扰上课了。此外，如果恶劣的天气阻碍了公共汽车，没有人会错过任何东西。

另一方面，这意味着公共汽车可能已经很满了，而您孩子的旅行将需要更长的时间。了解一种或另一种方式很好，因为它可以帮助您更好地与孩子讨论当天发生的事情。您可能会发现您的孩子会记住哪些学生在哪辆公共汽车上以及他们乘坐的公共汽车的号码。
8

What Time Does the Bus Leave to Come Home?

It's a dirty little secret that children in special education often get dismissed from their classes early and tucked on their buses well before the bell rings and regular education students are released. That may not sound so bad—you may not want your child navigating school hallways when they're brimming with students.

But do a little calculation and find out how much class time is actually being missed. If it's an inappropriate amount, bring it up with the teacher and the IEP team.

If the bus is intentionally arriving late in the morning, your child may be deprived of a significant amount of learning time, just for the sake of convenience.
8

公共汽车几点开回家？

这是一个肮脏的小秘密，特殊教育 的孩子们经常在上课铃响之前就被提前放学并塞进他们的公共汽车上和正规教育的学生被释放。这听起来可能不是那么糟糕——你可能不希望你的孩子在学校走廊里挤满了学生。

但是做一点计算，找出实际上错过了多少上课时间。如果金额不合适，请向老师和 IEP 团队提出。

如果公共汽车故意在早上晚些时候到达，您的孩子可能会被剥夺大量的学习时间，只是为了方便。
9

Which Route Does the Bus Take Home?

The bus should take the same route to school as it does from school, but the order of houses or the particular path taken may differ. Also, some children may go to after-school destinations that require them to take different buses or change the bus route.

Find out which route the bus follows home, so you always have a general idea of where your child is and can discuss the sights your child passes when you're driving together.
9

巴士回家的路线是哪条？

公交车到学校的路线应该与从学校走的路线相同，但房屋的顺序或所走的特定路径可能会有所不同。此外，有些孩子可能会去放学后的目的地，这需要他们乘坐不同的公共汽车或改变公共汽车路线。

找出巴士回家的路线，这样您就可以大致了解您的孩子在哪里，并且可以讨论您的孩子一起开车时经过的景点。
10

What Time Will the Bus Return?

You'll want to make sure to be home when the bus gets there or have somebody to greet your child in your place. It might be a good idea to have a neighbor who can meet your child in case of emergency and to let the bus personnel know that you've made this arrangement. This may be a particular concern if you have other children in different schools whom you must pick up at a time close to the bus drop-off hour.

Should you have a serious problem being home at the prescribed drop-off time, it doesn't hurt to ask the bus personnel or the transportation department whether a route reconfiguration is possible. It may also be an option to have your child dropped off at a different destination in the afternoon.
10

巴士几点返回？

当公共汽车到达那里时，您需要确保在家，或者有人在您的地方迎接您的孩子。最好有一个邻居可以在紧急情况下与您的孩子见面，并让巴士工作人员知道您已经做出了这样的安排。如果您有其他孩子在不同的学校，您必须在接近巴士下车时间的时间接他们，这可能是一个特别值得关注的问题。

如果您在规定的下车时间回家遇到严重问题，请询问巴士人员或交通部门是否可以重新配置路线。也可以选择让您的孩子下午在不同的目的地下车。
11

Who Takes Complaints?

Your initial notification of your child's busing arrangements will probably include a contact number, but if you don't get the official notification, you'll need to do some calling around to find the right office.

While you're on the phone, also ask about emergency numbers. Who do you call if your child is staying home or if the bus is late in the morning, your child is not taking the bus home, or the bus is late getting home?

Phone numbers that are used for one issue may not be used for another, and you'll want to have all the right ones at your fingertips should a problem arise.
11

谁接受投诉？

您对孩子校车安排的初步通知可能会包括一个联系电话，但如果您没有收到正式通知，您需要四处打电话寻找合适的办公室。

在您打电话时，还可以询问紧急电话号码。如果您的孩子待在家里，或者早上公交车晚点，您的孩子没有坐公交车回家，或者公交车回家晚了，您会打电话给谁？

用于一个问题的电话号码可能不会用于另一个问题，如果出现问题，您会希望所有正确的电话号码触手可及。
12

Is a School Bus Ride the Best Choice for My Child?

Most kids in special education take the bus, and for most parents, it's a helpful service. But that doesn't mean you're required to use it or that it will be the best option for every student.

If you do have the ability to drive your child yourself, then think long and hard about the answers to the questions above: the safety of the ride; the time your child spends on the bus or waiting for it outside of the classroom.

There are benefits to being on the school premises twice a day that are worth considering, too.

乘坐校车是我孩子的最佳选择吗？

大多数接受特殊教育的孩子乘坐公共汽车，对于大多数父母来说，这是一项有用的服务。但这并不意味着您必须使用它，或者它将是每个学生的最佳选择。

如果您确实有能力自己开车带孩子，那么请认真思考以上问题的答案：乘车的安全性；您的孩子在校车上或在教室外等车的时间。

每天两次在校舍上学的好处也值得考虑。
