Students have a lot of options to get to school in the morning, and this article will be reviewing the pros and cons of each option. The three most popular ways to get to school are: by school bus, biking, and driving. Each of these options have good and bad things about them.

Bussing is a great option to get to school for many reasons. One main reason is that it’s reliable. Unlike biking and driving, one doesn’t really have to worry abut weather because bus drivers are much better trained than a high school driver in terms of heavy weather driving, and biking is pretty much out of the question unless you are willing to get soaked. Bussing also is a great place to talk with your friends that live near you. Another pro about bussing is that you can take it all season, unlike biking unless you own a winter bike.

However, there are also cons about bussing to school. One major con is not being able to stay after school to talk to a teacher, retake a test, or study in the library without having to take an alternate way home. Another con to bussing is that you may have to leave earlier than other options, because the bus stops so many times.

Biking is also a great way to get to school, weather permitting. Biking has mostly the same pros as driving, with a few exceptions. Biking is also a great excercise and can be fun.

Some cons to biking is that we live in Minnesota. Winter lasts ⅔ of the school year which makes it very difficult to bike for most of the school year.

Driving has both a lot of pros and cons. Some pros are being able to leave your house relatively late, compared to biking and bussing. Also, driving gives you the freedom to stop for food before or after school if you’re hungry. You can keep textbooks in your car too, if you don’t want to carry them around all day.

Some cons to driving though are having to worry about parking and paying for gas. Paying for gas can get expensive if you drive to school everyday.

Overall, there are many good options to getting to school. I personally drive, but I have both bussed and biked in years past. It all matters on your personal preference and what works best with your schedule.
