One more reason never to have your child ride a government school bus. Add this to being dragged or crushed to death by the school bus, raped, or bullied on the bus.

Oh!...By the way,,,Is this the wonderful “socialization” that homeschoolers are missing.

I personally know kids who have, on a school bus, been spit in the face, had his jacket slit open with a razor blade procured from a little hand held pencil sharpener, and had her feet peed on by the bullies in the back of the school bus. All those incidents happened in different buses of different districts within about one year’s time.

Parents are apparently not allowed on the school buses in NYS, and there is no adult supervision other than the bus driver who is supposed to be busy driving the bus. Nice set up for the little anarchists.

Must be. It's the only kind I keep hearing about. I'm still waiting for the positive examples.....
