Again, it is not the school bus driver's job to educate, but drive the school bus safely. Firing was too harsh, but I don't see anything wrong with reminding the bus driver what his/her job actually is.

Are you infering that Mrs Mayor did not drive the bus safely? If not why the perverse desire to remind her that she is supposed too?

Now that we have determined the school bus driving is a seperate issue, let us turn to the education of the children. You seem to be accepting my assertion that it was indeed education (whether or not it is just as a premis).

If so then why would you object to school children being educated on a bus? Are you afraid your kids will come back from school too smart? Do you feel she is scab who is likely to displace some teachers? What?

"Are you infering that Mrs Mayor did not drive the bus safely?"

No, I'm saying that is the job of a bus driver - to drive the bus safely. I was not commenting on any particular driver.

" If not why the perverse desire to remind her that she is supposed too?"

Perverse desire? ROFL My original statement that firing was too harsh. At most, she should be told "Just drive the bus and keep your ideas to yourself." How did that somehow evolve into a perverse desire to do anything?

"us turn to the education of the children. You seem to be accepting my assertion that it was indeed education (whether or not it is just as a premis). If so then why would you object to school children being educated on a bus? "

Shall I reiterate again that it is not the job of a school bus driver to educate children? If it is the position of that particular district that bus drivers shouldn't be 'teaching' the riders of their buses, then so be it.

The firing was too harsh, certainly (unless this individual has done this repeatedly and been warned several times). But a bit of counseling from her superivsor would not be out of line if the type of policy I mentioned earlier is in place.
