Seat belts on school buses is a bad idea for obvious reasons. School buses are safe the way they are.



I sure don't know that!

I think you must be sarcastic, saying that.

Say it, what you want to say.

No sarcasm, there a lots of reasons why seatbelts are a bad idea in the context of a school bus, and not all have to do with money.

I don't have time now to elaborate, just use Google to find debates and articles going over the issues involved.

Believe it or not, those who have interests to protect are saying school buses are designed to protect kids without seat belts. Some kinda tripe called "compartmentalization", where kids supposedly just fit into the bus just like eggs in an egg crate.

It's obviously not the case, but people believe it.

It's nothing but criminal neglect, IMO.
