He has been at a charter school that didn't have bus service, so my wife and I juggled our schedules so one of us could drop him off and pick him up everyday. So he's never been a latch key kid...not because we think it's wrong. Both my wife and I grew up that way.

Next year he starts a school with bus service, so we won't need to juggle our schedules. He will let himself in and get started on his homework (sure...) until one of gets home an hour or two later.
