Seem to me that it was one mean filthy-mouth little girl instigating the whole thing.
Gotta love that!
Why has there not yet been some opportunistic douchebag politician holding a press conference to introduce legislation to put an end to elderly abuse?
This woman deserves to retire with pina coladas.
“vacation of a lifetime,”
I hope she gets enough donations to retire from that garbage heap of future humanity that rides that bus. I hope those kids are severly diciplined, humiliated and frightened that they will never say anything ugly to anyone ever again (even if they think it).
I volunteer to be bullied for 200G’s. We certainly have become a soft country. I saw a bit of the episode on Fox News this morning. First they say she is hard of hearing so I am unsure if she even heard anything. Secondly hopefully she will not do this job anymore as she is not equiped. Glad she is making some dough from a situation that caused her drama.
I used to drive bus for Minneapolis back in the mid-90’s.
Would have liked some combat pay for that TDY assignment.
Make the little brats walk to school.
Seems like the bullying happened more that once.....if this is her, that is:

Come to think of it, I was bullied enough in my younger years as a pencil-necked geek. Where’s my big payout?
Individual cash gifts, less than $13,500/year are NOT TAXABLE!!
I’m encouraged by this support. That video not only made me very mad, but it made me want to smack tohose kids...
It may not be PC but any kid who spews f-words at a grandmotherly woman just doing her job deserves to be smacked.
Why can’t they bring those little a-holes up on bullying charges, especially the one who put the video up on youtube?
YouTube video of her own reaction to the abuse. Her final words were so touching.
Where are the parents and why are they raising such fitly mouthed children.
Just remimber, one day shits like these will be running the Country.
Great, now that the story is out there, the taxman will cometh.
Had she kept it quiet, it’d be tax free.
Unfortunately, there are schools and some school districts who put up with crap like this. I’m sure this is not the first time these “students” talked to a school employee in that manner before.
Those creeps probably act that way in class as well - and, the sad, tragic, outrageous thing is - they know there is nothing you can do about it. You can send them out of the classroom, but they’ll be back. Suspension is a vacation for these kinds of kids.
On the other hand - it doesn’t have to be this way. The problem is some principals, teachers, and school districts are so lawsuit fearful that some of them are literally afraid to remove these kids permanently from the classroom (or bus).
Believe it or not, there are strong district superintendants and strong principals who can and do put a stop to this kind of insanity. They will be in court a lot, but you have to stand up to this crap. When teachers know that the administration will stand behind them and remove consistently disruptive kids, not only from their classrooms, but also from the school itself, this frees them up so they can exercise really authority and maintain disiplined classrooms - which is absolutely necessary for teaching to take place.
I hope the outrage this video creates will put the focus on the school district this lady is from and will give them a spine to remove those kids from the bus. Bus drivers and bus monitors do NOT have to put up with that kind of crap - unless they have no one to back them up. I don’t know if that is the case here, but I’m guessing it is.
Good Lord, the schools give these kids everything today - from school supplies to breakfast, lunch, and dinner (FREE at taxpayer expense) to “free” transportation! If these brats do not know how to ride a bus like a decent human being then that district has the authority (if they choose to exercise it) to remove them permanently from their bus system and make the parents bring them to their “alternative school”.
She ought to use that money to take a hit out on each of the little bastards.
Their parents must be so proud.
