Mom is looking for a lawsuit. Even more undeserved money from taxpayers for her obnoxious brat. Are you not aware that parents of unruly children are rewarded with a big, fat monthly check from the government via taxpayers? Want to screw taxpayers? Just get your brat to act up in class or on a school bus. All of a sudden they are labeled frigging ADD, ADHD, etc… and not only does the school get a bonus, parents get a monthly check too! Yeah, lets continue to reward all the wrong people for all the wrong behavior. And then act surprised when our country is bankrupt because so many unscrupulous losers want to feed like pigs at the government trough.

He/she didn't even slow down for the sign...just went whippin' around onto the main road like it was no big deal. They do that a lot out on those rural country roads. Pizzes me off too.

I'd have followed that bus to the next stop, got on and got the name of the driver.

Fedup.. YOU NAILED IT..... There is no such thing as ADD and/or ADHD. It's kids being kids. They want attention. My boys were hyper too, that's what boys do, but when I told them to sit down and straighten up, they did it. They knew what happened when they didn't.... WHACK.. And no, they weren't scarred for life. Both are engineers... Bravo to you Fedup for telling the truth... Now, how do we take all these people off the "payroll"?

Yeah, but you don't pay them very much. Want better drivers, provide better pay or benefits.
So out of millions of school bus runs a day, you find a couple a couple of screw-ups (by the way for the one that stopped on the railroad tracks, where kids on the bus? The pasted part of your story didn't say. And are those from the same year?)

If that is true, why don’t our children score higher in Math, geography, science, etc…? USA has highest pay for teachers, yet our students consistently score lower on tests versus the rest of the world. Salary has nothing to do with it. Our debauched culture and work ethic has everything to do with it! Look at auto industry going bankrupt now. Why is Honda, Toyota, etc.,who pay less than American auto makers, doing better?

The little monkeys push you over the edge. Shouldn't they be chained up or something. I am sure the parents say not my little Jimmy he would never cause problems. If I had been a recurring problem on the bus when I was a kid not only would I have gotten a beating from my old man the first time, I wouldn't be allowed back on the bus to begin with.

If you step onto the bus (especially if kids are present) you can be arrested. They know who is driving which bus and they have commo with them, someone lied to you if they said otherwise.
Also, many school systems allow them to keep the bus at home (saves on fuel for some and cleaning maintenance). However, some of the localities do not allow the drivers to have a vehicle of that size in neighborhoods overnight.

When currency is worthless, they will be fending for themselves. And yes, boys will be boys, unless they are drugged into submission! Hey, not only did I raise 4 sons, I had a daughter with cerebral palsy who died when she was 16 years old. Of course, back then, we took care of our own. We didn’t insist the government rob our neighbors because we were dealt an unfortunate hand in life. My son’s would have been diagnosed with some such or another disorder by modern standards. They were perfectly normal boys! However, while growing up they took apart radios, televisions, made bombs which blew out windows, filled my car fuel tank with water, broke bones due to jumping out of trees and off roofs, etc… You know, the sort of things normal boys who haven’t been feminized by society and psychotropic drugs do! All finished college, and are productive, happy, kind, responsible members of society today, despite having ‘the belt’ meet their bottoms on more than one occasion.
