Travis and the school bus system

Today was Travis's first day to ride the school bus. Since he's going to the nearest bilingual school, as opposed to his neighborhood school, his busing is somewhat different then most other kids. In the morning a school bus picks him up at April's school and transports him 1/2 mile or so to his own school. At 11:15, a school bus takes him from his school about 5 miles to his daycare. Given the bus fiascoes that occurred last week at April's school, both April and I weren't entirely sure where he'd end up this afternoon.

So at 1:00 or so I stopped by the daycare to see if he had indeed successfully arrived there. The lady at the desk said the bus with Travis and another girl from his school had indeed arrived, although they were about 15 minutes late. There were evidently some issues, as she also stated that Travis had told the bus driver "You don't know what you're doing. We know more than you do; we know where we're supposed to be going." And she added that the bus driver said he was correct.
