Thank the ACLU. Neither the teachers nor the bus drivers are allowed to punish the children when they deserve it. When I was in school and you did something like that on the buss, the driver would drag you out of your seat and bust your ass in front of everyone.
Yes: In the old days bus drivers had respect. Not that we didn’t cut up occasionially ,but when called down we listened or the busdriver wouls top and come back and stop the problem.
In my state all bus drivers have cell phones and all bus’s are equipped with Video Camera’s. If the kids do not behave drivers are told to pull over to the side and call police.Sit there until police arrive.
