That's great about Kyle! But I have lost track of how many EZ cards J and the girls have lost their cards, or sometimes their entire wallet with the EZ card inside it. I guess lanyards would have helped.
As for responsibility, now that my 14yo has transferred to a school he likes in Hsinchu and has to catch a bus by himself at 6:40, he wakes up to his own alarm clock, gets out the door by 6:30 and walks to the bus stop, and feels really good about it. It was a nightmare getting him out of bed every morning for school before.
