I have an elementary-age son here. I don't think he even knows what a stem cell is, and even if he or his classmates had enough of an inkling to ask someone about it, the notion that they would choose to approach the substitute bus driver - on their own and unbidden, no less - is...well, faintly ludicrous.

The notion that elementary-age children approached her to ask about stem cells is, frankly, not especially plausible. If she was a classroom teacher, she might make it fly. As the substitute bus driver, she's toast, and you can bank on that. Sorry to disappoint, but this is going nowhere.

From what I read, the kids ranged in age from 1st to 6th...let's say your son is in first grade...if he heard "stem" he would think flower...and "cell"...he might think phone...but stem cell...to a 12 year old mght make a lot of sense.
