We have a late bus run, so that’s not an issue, it just takes a looong time (fewer buses, so the trips are longer). But it’s yet another demand on kids’ time.
I now understand why so many parents here find a way to let their kids drive to school as soon as they are able- even the extra time saved in the morning is valuable when your kid is sleep-deprived (yes, it’s crazy that people let sleep-deprived kids drive, but I digress...).
But I agree with you in that scheduling work after school makes unfair demands on kids who have to take the bus. Wish that were the only way school discriminated against lower-income kids, but that’s an issue for another thread.
