Now look at what’s being reported in the media about it:
So the bus driver used some foul language…so what? Now I know some people may not agree with that, but truth be told, she might not have gotten those rowdy kids tamed without getting their attention somehow…cussing wasn’t the only way, but it was her way. Those are teenagers and we all know they can be difficult at that age if you don’t put them in their places, and from what the bus driver said on the video, this was not the first time…it’s been happening constantly. Everyone reaches a breaking point…I’m sure even reverends have one. Now had that been a bus full of toddlers, it would have been a whole ‘nother story, but these teens are not immune to a few “choice words” because the fact of the matter is that they hear far worse words and messages in their music.
Back in the day, this would not have been a big deal because we followed the Old School rule of ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’ If we were acting up in the streets, our parents wanted the neighbor or a responsible adult they know, to check us. That kept us in line and it taught us how to respect our elders and ourselves. This bus driver telling these kids to throw hands the old fashioned way to settle their dispute once and for all and stop causing disruption, is exactly what I think the kids of today need to hear more often. They need to let that woman keep her job!
Sound off ILOSM family and tell us if you think what the bus driver did was RIGHT or WRONG?
Leave that woman along these kids need to have so respect for each other and their authority and it need to start at home look at those kids they are bigger than her any way so they think they are in charge she got to let them know they can’t do that on her bus she is in charge so now when they get on her bus they will know she don’t play
Debra I couldn’t have said it better myself. I totally agree with you my friend. Yeah the bus driver’s approach was a lil’ more hardcore than normal, but those kids’ behavior was a lil’ more hardcore than normal also and they needed to be checked. I know they can tell that her words were not coming from a place of ill intent, it was coming from a place of concern and a place of ‘I am the adult and I will make sure that you show me respect, as well as yourselves. Kids can always hear when an adult is trying to help them, or hurt them and she clearly was not trying to hurt them and I can tell that they respect her for that. I definitely think that she deserves to keep her job.
