This made national news? Really??
More reasons to despise the mental meatgrinder that is the government school system.
I side with the bus driver!
OMG! Shelter in place!
"Our top story tonight - there's a mean school bus driver in Texas or something."
Its crazy that stories like these are blown up into national events. Was the bus driver justified in calling the girl a crybaby? I don’t know. But even if it wasn’t justified, I would hardly call this abuse. People get called names unfairly every day and get over it. It toughens them up so they won’t be crybabys.
Heard this on the local talk shows yesterday. A bus driver being a bully and encouraging the kids to join her, she needed firing.
And what?
Public schools suck! This incident and other socially unacceptable incidents always result in some poor grunt in the food chain being fired or put on leave. Yep, that’s the solution.
Why aren’t these enraged parents, school administrators, and sensitive school board members taking care of the business of educating the students instead of the constant stream of social injustices. They crawl out into the light to correct any perceived social issue and crawl back into the darkness to hide when classroom education fails to produce educated students. The result is dumb and dumber brainwashed liberal-minded kids.
As a little kid, I remember when someone called me “crybaby” I learned to defend myself. First with words (sticks and stones, blah blah blah/words can never hurt me) and then against physical violence (the old fight or flee response). All this to say kids are being taught that laws and government will always be there to defend them.
Parents, the purpose of schools is to educate, not raise, your kids. Conservative parents, get your kids out of the public schools as soon as you can.
Jame Gumb did it to Catherine Martin and nobody said anything....
Well, if I had to spend hours of my down bottled up with these little monsters in a yellow submarine, I’d probably hate them too.
But was she being “bossy”?
Meanwhile, Obama’s safe schools czar will promote homosexual sex to little school children, and there will be no news coverage because the left stream media supports it.
Some kids ARE crybabies. But it’s not the driver’s duty or place to bring it to everyone’s attention.
Not the biggest incident, but still...
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
