Bus drivers did a lot worse when I was on them. Can't believe we all lived.

You’d think school bus drivers would know better.

Several years ago I was driving north on a two way street when I came upon a three way intersection (the third way going east). Across the intersection from me, headed south on the two way street was a school bus. We both came to this intersection at the same time. We stopped at the stop sign at the same time.

Then I made my move to continue on my way north when the school bus also moved into the intersection and made a turn in front of me to go down that eastbound road. I had to slam on my brakes. The school bus stopped too. Thankfully i didnt hit her and her bus was empty.

I could see the lady bus driver through the glass of the bus door. She threw up her hands as if to say to me, “hey, wait willya?” As if it were my fault she DIDNT USE A TURN SIGNAL to indicate that she was going to make that turn. For all I knew she was heading in a straight direction going south.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

the bus driver constantly runs through stop signs with children from Springdale Elementary School on board.

Your point being?

He thought they only needed to stop for railroad crossings.

Some of my WORST memories as a child involve school buses. I always hated the thing as a result. In early high school, I would walk the three miles to school to avoid the bus.
