I would never have even thought of behaving like that. Just totally alien to my mindset. When I was that age, I called my teachers Mr. and Mrs. because we had to. When I talk to my old teachers now, I still call them Mr. or Mrs., but it's out of sheer reverence and respect.

I was born in the early 90s. If I ever did anything like that, my parents would have punished me severely and I am somewhat sure my school would not have tolerated that. It's hard to believe the difference in peoples attitude when they are 6-10 years younger. It's also hard to believe how many parents cannot properly raise a child.

Kids are not (general) taught respect any longer. Look at TV, movies and music.......paging respect! where are you? Oh yeah, it is dead.

I was taught to respect my elders....period. I had fear of my teachers, police, official and most of all my father! My Italian immigrant father who had 0 tolerance for my BS. I have learned to be responsible and respectful from my parents. Thanks Mom & Dad!

Amen to that. It's part of the reason why my kids go to a Catholic school. They don't take any money from the government so they don't have to take every kid, and teaching manners and respect are integral to the education. If you don't play by the rules your ass is on the street looking for a new school. You can see it when you walk through the building as the kids are polite and under control.

I would beat the hell out of my kids for even a fraction of that behavior, and they would feel the effects for a long time to come.

Anti-bullying laws are BS! This is the fault of the parents! These kids have no values.

And you should listen to the parents make excuses for their kids!

"Johnny is a good kid. It was the other kids that made him do it..."

BS!!!!

The worst part:

One of the Jack@$$ kids said she should go home to here family, except she didn't have any cause they all commited suicide because they hated her so much.

One of her children had commited suicide 10 years ago.

As was suggested last night, everyone of those kids should be grounded for the summer and sent to her house to work for her, pulling weeds, mowing grasss, painting, what ever she wants. That would be a fitting lesson. No verbal apology will work. Deeds, not words!

My wife and I were talking about it this morning. She said when they were in school, if the Principal went to your classroom, all students and the teacher would immediately stand up. They were taught respect, by their parents, the church and the school.

No one teaches anything today.

That's hilarious because when I was a kid, the last thing you wanted to say was some other kid got you to do something that got you in trouble - that just made it worse for you. For a parent to throw that out there? "My son's a good kid - you know, for a weak-willed moron." How proud they must be!

Maybe some of the parents do care.

The first thing parents do today is to make excuses for their kids. I should know, because I was a part time shop teacher right after college.

Really? Via the police and one from a Parent?

Weak.

A beating about the head and shoulders would be too good for these punks.

Greece, N.Y., near Rochester.

Why does this not surprise me? I've never been impressed by any New York, or New Jersey native. Even one of my best friends from Waltham, MA has an appalling vocabulary. The F word is like a comma for these morons. If you can't communicate any better than that, really why even bother?

If you don't have to work or live in NY, you should thank the merciful Lord.

I hope these kids learn something from this, I hope I care if anything happens to them.

One does wonder if the driver knew what was going on could they intervene? Man 60 seconds in was all I could take.

What would've happened if the driver just stopped the bus and kicked them off?

he would have been fired & sued...
Parents would also sue the City/School district into the poor house..

many parents live for something like this...

and the kids would be smirking on TV..
