That’s an awesome feel good story.

Not to be cynical but why can’t she afford a car? I must hav missed it in the story.

Now she has to pay for insurance, fuel, tags...

What's wrong with taking the bus to school?

Not shitting on your thread, Skins. It was a nice gesture and there is probably more to the story.

Most teachers have to be in the classroom by 6:50 AM. Good teachers are much earlier. While school may end at a set time, teachers have to stay a half hour or so. Good teachers stay a couple of hours.
Then add in catching the bus, making the connections, weather etc. then it can be a long day. No doubt the cost of transportation will go. Long way to paying the costs involved with the car.
