It's a liability issue. The kids are still technically being cared for by the school district until they are at their home. The closer to home they are, the less liability there is for the school district.
It's retarded, granted, but that's the way it is.
Frankly, the first time my Kid wants to ride a bike or something to school (9-ish miles), I'm going to shake his hand and tell him to get up earlier.
