text: Some parents might not be able to pick their kids up from school, if it is an after school activity. Parents work a lot, so it's hard for them to leave work, and then be able to stop by the school and pick their children up from school on time. You never know what the students and parents could be going through at home, and it could be the reason why their parents wont be able to pick their kids up from school and why kids don't have a ride. The situation going on could be very personal, so they shouldn't be focused on finding a ride home just for an after school activity.
