I’m torn here. If I had a good kid that was on that bus I would have lost my mind but, I also know what kids are like now so I can’t completely fault the bus driver.
The bus driver kept his sanity. I support him 100%. The parents will NEVER say their children were at fault. The Superintendent evidently had not dealt with this already. I used to do long-term subbing. One day I told the Principal — YOU will have to teach this class tomorrow, I am not coming back. He had been crisp with me when I sent TEN of my 6th-graders to his office during the morning. I told him all I wanted in that room were kids who wanted to learn, and if that were only a handful, so be it.
I homeschooled my own son, of course.
That bus driver should get a medal of honor. I bet he didn’t have duct tape or bubble wrap or cattle prods or ANYTHING he could have used to keep order. And for heaven’s sake, the kids were old enough to walk home. It’s not like they were Kindergarteners or anything.
Whine on.
