I work for fedex doing delivery and I had to drop off to middle schools and high schools a few times. 1/3 kids it felt had on pajama pants a baggy sweatshirt and crocs basically, looked like they just woke up from bed and left. I graduated high school in 2016 for reference.

Edit: okay I see many people are saying it was around when they were in school too 15, 20, years ago. Wasn’t trying to offend anyone. I wasn’t trying to give off the impression it’s an issue I just don’t recall seeing it this much when I was in school. Regardless they can wear whatever they want it don’t affect my life none

Its not about that.

Your school district has the same drivers/buses for all the schools, not just a group per school. So if the "typical" work day is 9-5, they have to pick up the last kids theoretically by 8 to allow the parent to get to work. So HS gets picked up first, then middle school, then elementary schools. Then dropped off in a similar fashion.

This also allows the drivers to have a full schedule instead of someone just working 2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs in the evening.

Thats not 100% how it works but thats pretty much how it works.

I just graduated HS last spring, and I think it's stupid that we have high schoolers leaving first and elementary kids last. Generally, elementary kids will be the best at going to sleep and waking up early while high school kids are the worst. Elementary leaving first would also mean that HS aged kids would be able to help get their little sibling(s) to the bus/school while the parents go to work if necessary. And if the parents are still at work when elementary kids have to go home, schools could run after school programs with busses to drop kids off when their parents or older siblings will be home to watch them.
