Our bus driver would pull over and kick the trouble makers off the bus. It was great.

This failure superintendent of screwls just got over a 25% raise.

How can a screwl board be so free with public money?

Board members voted to increase Pollio’s base salary to $350,244 based on his performance, up from his current contract’s base salary of $276,000.

His first problem for me is calling a child “kid”. They are children or a child not a kid.

Buses are bedlam, always have been. Children that are unruly should be put off the bus or not allowed to ride until they can behave.

They computerized the system. System “working on very advanced technology”. How dumb.

Get on, sit down, strap in and STFU.

All those who normally drive school buses were killed by the Covid “vaccine”. There is a shortage of drivers.

In some areas they arrest parents who let their kids walk home from school. Clearly, someone in the school system needs to be arrested for putting kids in danger this way.

All part of the breaking of the parent-son-daughter bond and replacing parents with the State.

Name one that’s located in Jefferson County KY.

Thanks.

Re: Some good government schools

**ALL** of them are godless in their curriculum, activities, and homework.

Based on an AI used by a supermarket in New Zealand which churns out, “recipes” with given ingredients, AI sucks at these tasks. They’re in their infancy, being told to do things they simply cannot.

Yep, I caught that right away. AI generated routes based on data that obviously did not match reality and with no input from any long time drivers.

It went spectacularly wrong. It’s really quite funny as long as it’s not my kid stuck on the bus.

With that many route changes (and probably lots of new drivers), don’t they do test runs and dry runs before school starts?
Yep. They do it every year.

And every year the first few days is a Charlie Foxtrot.

But this year they've "graduated" to FUBAR.

I bet the only competence AlphaRoute has is distributing kickbacks to the right people.

Which is all that’s needed for succeeding in government contract work.

Corruption destroys everything.

“I said “ country “.

By any measure the American public school system is an abject, miserable failure. The fact that there are “some” good ones is utterly irrelevant. The damage being done by the vast majority of crappy, Union goon run schools far outweighs any “good” public schools.

The entire system should be destroyed and replaced with a free market system.

Pollio said representatives from AlphaRoute will be in town over the weekend to help JCPS work in implementing its plan.

They got the bid and the contract, now they will worry about “implementing its plan”. Maybe should have thought about that a few weeks ago?
