It all goes back to no discipline…sorry To say this but a lot of kids are encouraged to be rough, tough bada** by parents and their communities. “You don’t have to mind no teacher, bus driver, etc, etc.” And school officials can’t do a thing…so yes, shouldn’t get on that bus but we don’t know the whole story.
Well Ive got news for you….. If I beed to address my child doe ANY reason or if my kid is being bullied and the School has not done their job and stopped it. I’m getting on that bus
That is MY child….. so you better just get the hell out of my way.
I agree with you!
Bottom line, that parent had no business getting on that bus, period!
Well bullying in my opinion has gotten worse because of what children are exposed to in their home. Re; Parents who bully, Social Media, TV, Video games etc.
God forbid don’t let them watch
the politicians, they are the biggest bullies of all. Kids do what they see.
If this was due to a “bullying” incident, in a way I can’t blame the parent as they may have had their fill since it wasn’t being addressed at school. BUT, this was NOT THE WAY to properly handle the situation. Go to the authorities(not the school if that failed) request a report be filed and parents be notified as well as the school involved.
Bullying should not be tolerated and needs to be stopped
We spend a fortune on schools with our taxes and nothing ever changes. Kids can’t ride the bus without out being bullied. We have long long lines of parents picking up and dropping of kids cause they don’t want to their kids to ride the bus where you can’t win with these bullies. I to had the DA and the PD have a chat with the school principal and did not have a problem with the school and my kid being molested again. The kids doing this were not from the USA nor could they speak our language but they sure knew how to make someone real unsafe.
It doesn’t matter if it is bullying it’s a way to address it and not getting on a bus and doing harm to anyone’s child cause you want nobody doing it to your’s.
Was it a bullying incident? It was correct to not allow parent to enter the bus, and it is important to protect children from other children bullies.
That’s the problem. Bullying is RAMPANT in schools and administrators do NOTHING to stop it. “0 tolerance” is a joke. After repeated reports to the school I filed a complaint with the sheriff’s department. One more incident and I’d file charges. Admin did not like SO showing up but they finally stopped the bully.
Administration is not allowed much in the way of correcting behavior problems for fear of getting sued by parents of unruly children.
Well, the bus transportation doesn’t do anything about bullying, and we’re not allowed to be in contact with the bus drivers either. I have been having problems with my kids’ bus about bullying, but when my son sticks up for his brother, he gets written up
