Sherry Hattaway was taking students from Pasco Middle and High Schools in Lacoochee, Fla., home last Thursday afternoon when a four-foot alligator crossed the road and went into a field, reports the St. Petersburg Times.
"Can we catch it? Can we catch it?" asked some of the 11 kids on board, according to Jimmie Scroggins, father of two riders.

My bus driver was nowhere NEAR this cool! Mine neither. We would've gotten something along the lines of 'Yall shut the f--k up back there or yall'll be walking home.'

It's not like she let the alligator drive or anything.LOL! What I want to know is, do a lot of kids in Florida carry electrical tape w/them?
The lawyer is me says somebody was beggin' for a lawsuit. The mom in me says. "How could you let my kid do something so dangerous?" The mom of a boy in me says, "Oh well, just make sure that tape is tight."

Sounds like the woman who drives the bus in that kid's show "The Magic School Bus".
Very cool but a little ditzy.

All I remember of my bus driver is the yelling.The one I remember coiled her braid in her lap to drive. Has a daughter named Gina who was a real hottie, but no one would date her because of her mom...
To: Prodigal Son
Mine neither. We would've gotten something along the lines of 'Yall shut the f--k up back there or yall'll be walking home.'Hey! We rode the same bus!

Obviously, very poor judgement on the bus driver's part.
I'm not flaming you here, but why was it poor judgement? It was a 4-foot alligator on land. Hardly dangerous considering these kids were from FL and grew up around them. The boys obviously knew how to handle a 'gator.

They aren't even listed as "threatened".
But I'd list them as "tasty" and they make darn fine boots.

To: cinFLA
Errors in judgment are common among bus drivers. Some are worse than others. But the worst errors are usually made by the kids. This lady is not an instigator but a facilitator or perhaps an unwilling accomplice (maybe the boys tricked her).

he is a metrosexual??
she should have kept the gator and trained it and let it ride the bus everyday...kid gets unruly, sic the gator on him/her....it would not have to bite off more than 2 or 3 limbs and she would have the best behaved bus in the entire United States!!!! /humor/

God bless women who don't want to turn boys into girls. Vice versa.

Don't be foolish, the smart kids all have duct tape, it's much better.
To: small_l_libertarian
It wasn't stupid. Regardless of what the bus driver did, after school those boys would have been gone back and tried to find the alligator. They are boys.
I talked to my mom last night and we got into a discussion about kids today (like her grandkids and my neices and nephews) and she, a far left liberal, admitted you can't stop boys.
She said that by today's standards we three boys of hers would have been taken away to foster homes. Most of the time from my age of 7-15 she had no idea where I was or what I was doing. We played in an old barn (I got seriously cut sliding down a rusty tin roof), explored forest, river bottoms, caves and water drainage tunnels in Calif. and climbed cliffs and got ticks and chiggers in the fields of Ark!
What fun!

"What fun!" indeed, not all the fun was had by boys, we girls stood on the train tracks to see who could stay the longest before the train came. (I didn't say it was smart, just fun.) Maybe it was the long, hot summers that cooked our brains.
