Kids today are amazingly cowed. Back in the dat this would have been a very stupid thing for a bus aide (what ever the hell that is) to do. I cant imagine anyone even thinking to do it. Don’t these kids have any self respect?

The kids want to get letters of recommendation so they can go to the college of their choice. The teachers will write negative recommendations for those kids they perceive as troublemakers.

Troublemakers are all those who don't agree with their liberal political views. Don't believe me? I've seen some of those letters.

No, only some kids are cowed. The reason there is a bus aide on board (unless there is a handicapped child requiring assistance) is because the kids are so out of control that they require someone to try and keep control while the driver attempts to drive them home or to school.
