So serious question: how does homeschooling work? You have to get permission from the state, or else you get a visit from The Man?
Yes... There is an application process and fees involved. There are also tests tha the homeschooled kids have to pass or they are sent back to school.
You have got to be kidding. You're saying everybody whose kids ride the bus is endangering them?
What has the world come to that riding the school bus considered that dangerous?
Here's just a few recent articles.

Jes sayin'
OK had our meeting with the Principle and Vice Principle. Yes we were late in excess. However they agreed that the process of dropping off your child is flawed. So they do not have a certain number of tardies equal an absence. So I asked why were we reported to the DA? To which they stated they sent out a letter October 2011 and we did not respond to the letter. So I stated, so when were the follow up calls, or follow up parent teacher conferences? This is the first we have heard of this when the DA called. Needless to say I explained how the process was flawed, and the Principle agreed. So essentially the DA was contacted to get our attention. So there is no issues from here going forward unless we continue to drop our kids off late without informing the principle.
Also you have to live a certain distance from the school to ride a bus. We live too close to be able to ride the bus.

Yeah because nobody ever gets into a car wreck during early morning rush hour either.
What has the world come to when a child being 4 minutes late to school is a matter for the district attorney to address, and not the school?
What do you know, when adults sit down and have a face to face meeting about a simple problem, a solution is found. Just goes to prove my point that the DA nonsense is absurd. Christ, this is like the white trash on COPS that call 911 to solve their marital disputes. Grow up and learn to use your words; this is not what law enforcement is for.
The school should have made a serious effort to talk to you and your wife face to face if they thought the problem was that serious. Period. Unless you guys were ignoring requests from the school to have a meeting, the school is the bigger goober in this scenario.
Gov. agency efficiency, they can figure out when a kid is late because it cost them money, but they can't figure out a teacher is making kiddie porn in class.

Parents want answers, school officials refuse public records requests
“But my major concern is the staffer that saw him do this action. Who did the staffer contact first? The principal? The area superintendent? For them to say ‘we are concerned’ and not to remove him immediately - to me it sounds like it was swept under the rug initially,” Travnicek said.

Two of those refer to the same incident. Even if I give you all six, though, would you allow your kid to play sports? Because a lot more children get injured that way.
Just off the top of my head, here's a study on the dangers of high-school football. More dangerous than college, even: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC155424/
Other sports have serious injuries associated, too. So--would you endanger your kids by letting them play sports, or are you going to wrap them in bubble pack their whole lives?
DennisHoddy, the 12th IMAM, is absolutely correct in his summation. I'd advise you to get your children to school on time, or he will issue a fatwa against you.
