Getting kids to school

Karen, running late for work, hurries along with her children. Scott’s uniform and Kristie’s lack of one suggest they do not go to the same school. Although a school bus can be seen in the background, it may not have been used. Karen also had to get to work; travelling by car may have been more time-efficient.
