5th grade for my daughter (who is in 9th grade this year), but it was a different situation. She attends a magnet school here in Nashville. Magnet schools do not provide transportation so after school she had to get on a city bus, ride the bus to my wife's work (she is a middle school librarian), and walk about a 3/4 mile from the bus stop to the school along a busy residential street.
We were worried for the first week or so, making her call as soon as she got off the bus and what not after that no concerns. She was excited too, but that wore off quickly, she would call and ask to be picked up and what not…
