so you agree there would be cause for concern if there was an attack, threats and destruction of school property?

I agree what someone wrote before, and that was we were kids before and we were the same way the last day of school. But what i don’t agree with if there were fighting, throwing things,or even standing up out there seat playing, But if the kids was just too loud give them a one time break. I’m sure he has been around loud kids before or even a ball game were it is noisy. On a couple of bus stops to let them off and it would of been all over. Remember if it only was the noise envolved.

Is the county still going to say they have had no incidents on the busses with high school and middle school together? It’s insane to have them together. Maybe, we need more bus drivers (and principals) reporting these issues to the authorities instead of trying to cover them up.

When i was those kids age all the driver had to say is “I am going to tell your parents how you acted.”That allways shut kids up.Too bad its not like that today.

Had there been an accident due to the disruptive children, the bus driver could have been blamed. Parents are so quick to point the finger at other people when it is them doing something wrong. When I was a kid, if we didnt’ do what we were told the bus driver would pull over and wait for the sheriff’s dept. deputies. I totally agree with the actions of this bus driver. It is such a shame that people think that because it is the last day of school that it is ok for these kids to behave this way. Under no circumstances is it ok for them to get away with this. If you give them an inch they will take a mile. They are kids. The learn from example and if the example is set that you can not get on a bus and behave this way then maybe they will realize this next year because they will remember. Having lost a few people in car accidents over the years, let me tell you..I would rather the bus driver take them to the sheriff’s department for a deputy to talk to them than have a sheriff come to my door saying there was an accident. You can’t take back death. So way to go bus driver. You did your job and you did it well…Also, spare the rod, spoil the child. I certainly don’t believe in spankings or hittings or whatever other kind of violence towards children, but if my daughter did this, she wouldn’t have the tv, video games or any other fun things to do for a while…She would have to think about why she caused this and we would come up with an adequate punishment for her to remember how bad it truely is. Thanks for letting me post my 2 cents.

I agree with the bus driver’s actions, too. It is very refreshing to read about children being held accountable for their actions. It’s also such a pleasure and an inspiration to read all the posts in support of the driver. What a wonderful area I’ve just moved to. We have many children that need loving correction for their own good. I wonder (and know the answer) what is going to become of them if they don’t learn that they cannot live like heathens in society? If they don’t have an event like this one in their lives early on, there will definitely be one later – and it won’t be a caring bus driver, either. It may be something that causes them to experience a horrible event or makes their lives even worse. I say let us be free to correct with kindness any child we see who is behaving poorly – especially when they are causing problems for other children, our neighborhoods, or for themselves. Cudos to the bus driver, and to whomever pressed charges against the young lady who apparently started the incident. Shame on her – at high school age, she is certainly old enough to learn how to behave properly in public.
I hope someone teaches her how, with kindness.
