>My daughter had to be outside waiting for the bus (well, she was in the car with me waiting for her school bus) at 6:30am in the 5th grade. School started at 7:30 and she was one of the first stops on and the last off the bus everyday.

Our district is small enough that most of the buses run the same route morning and afternoon. So first on in the morning is first off in the afternoon. That's a lot more fair.
