Carpools are very popular with US middle school students. _1_ A carpool is a group of people who take turns driving students to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool.

2 _ Usually, if there is no school bus, and some students live very far away from school, the carpool can help save money and reduce traffic problems. So it is very useful to have a carpool.

3_ If one student is late, the other students will have to wait for him or her in the car. So this may teach students a very important lesson – to be on time is your own responsibility.

4 It’s common to see people running into each other, shouting across the house, knocking on the bathroom door and always coming back to get the things they forgot to take. Many interesting stories will happen during the trip to school, too.
