Kid whipped up by School bus driver.
 

I would be embarrassed to be on T.V. if my kids did this. I am not saying the bus driver was in the right. (although back in the 70's when I rode a bus this could/would happen)

If my son swung on a 60 year old bus driver and cursed at him I would be ashamed. Defiantly would not be on the news.

Agree. What is the proper response when a 15 yr old puck tags you in the face?

Did you hear the mom on the news. SHe doesnt like the fact that here kids were charged with felonies, but yet the driver wasent.

Here`s the interview.,..., http://video.msn.com/video/p.htm?i=73eaeaae-440d-4f5a-9905-9125212e5c64,62378dec-21db-4afa-8f76-d68b6de855d6,919edacc-e319-4e0e-9e3c-fe95ad9901c1&m=News%20-%20Weather&mi=NBC%20News&GT1=6473&rf=http://www.msn.com/

Is a 15 year old ever in the right?

No.

Another reason to be a proud citizen of Florida.

Honestly, if it was my kid I would still be trying to get over the fact that he just tagged a man in the face that was as old as his grandfather.

Society drove off a cliff.

My wife and I have been seriously looking into private schools / home schooling.

I love this place! Punta Gorda is a mid-class town at best. Very little class running around.

Is that Punta Gorda or Puta Gorda?

Hilarious! :D

My bus driver in the late 70's was nicknamed "Crowbar Barney". Not even the potheads would dare talk to him in a disrespectful way.

I still remember getting a "whack" from the principal in the early 80's in highschool. Now I guess that would be considered a felony?
Man, society is getting messed up. Too many do gooders trying to "change the world" IMO.

I think they should pin a medal on the bus driver.

I agree with 350 100%! (did I really just say I agreed with 350?:) )

Agreed. The kids parents should be ashamed.

When I was in 6th grade I got bused to a school in the middle of the projects. I had a teacher that would TAKE HIS BELT OFF AND WACK THE KIDS WITH IT.

Man, have times changed.

PS. my daughter is in private school

I work for a school district. I get around to 40 some odd sights, so I see a lot of kids. I have heard kids tell teachers that they are f---ing bi---es, and yell at the teachers.The teacher takes it, no suspensions, no nothing (the school loses $$ then if the child is not in school) And the kids know what they can get away with and their parents will twist facts around to justify why their child is innocent.

My ex tried to justify to me why my son should be able to wear his baseball cap in class (because he was an honor roll student)
I reasoned that the teachers all need rules and those rules apply to everyone................DOG HOUSE FOR A MONTH:(

I'd bust him.
