It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of talent there! I would have hated to have to judge that last night. Thanks for letting us be a part of finding a cure.

I appreciate that you would at least give me the benefit of the doubt on that one. Thanks. FWIW - I am one of those parents who will NOT allow my child to behave that way. Prime example: When my daughter called today I heard the bus driver tell her she better get off of her phone. Lil RaceGirl responded with " I am talking to my mom" - I responded with "you WILL NOT talk back to an adult. You will get off of your phone just like that woman told you to, and I will be there in a few minutes! Meanwhile you better mind your damn manners!" I do not tolerate ill behavior or disrespect

Admittedly, I did not witness her putting her hands on the children. My daughter called me as soon as it happened, and once I arrived, other children were telling me this through the windows of the bus. I can't determine how it would be advantageous for my daughter to fabricate this story, as she was not even one of the children who was "in trouble" with the driver. She called me because she was legitimately scared. (I could hear that in her voice, not just her words.) The driver was screaming, and the kids were reacting poorly to the negative example she set. I truly believe this would ha

REALLY??? Did you not already read my response to this above? Or is it easier to ASSume that I am an inadequate parent because I have the audacity to put my child on a bus that my tax dollars pay for? Sheesh.

The kids were not fighting. This started because a child had his legs in the aisle. I accept responsibility for my child's actions. I am completely responsible for the fact that she has manners and displays respect to adults. As mad as she was today when I got there, she wanted to say something and I told her in no uncertain terms that she would treat the driver with respect regardless of the situation. I reminded her that even though she may not respect the person, she WILL be respectful toward the person. I think this all began when the driver was reprimanded for allowing the childre

Maybe I should have clarified that. She has been the sub all week. She was merely incompetent the first 3 days. My child has only been riding in the mornings because I have to be in class in Rome. The instability of a "mental" nature was yesterday afternoon and today. I would NEVER knowingly leave my child in the care of an unstable person. I would think that you would know me better than that.

Did I mention she put her hands on 2 kids?

It was in Paulding and there are cameras.

Being yelled at by an adult is one thing. Having an adult bus driver shove 2 students is another. She LOCKED the bus, after my child escaped, and then turned the bus off while repeatedly telling everyone she wasn't going anywhere. Mind you, they were there for over 30 minutes. All of that started this afternoon because a boy had his legs in the aisle.

I agree with you to a certain degree. Of course I also know that when someone robs a convenience store, they don't arrest all the customers;) She even admitted my child wasn't one of the "problem children", yet my child was being "punished" just like all of the other kids on the bus. This woman has been their sub all week and has been VERY unstable. There is sooo much, I couldn't possibly type it all right now. What I do know is that she handled the situation poorly, and her actions just served to compound the problem. I am sure ( or at least I hope) she regrets her actions now.

Yep. I was there. The substitute bus driver (who's sanity is questionable at best IMHO) nutted up this morning and this afternoon. She stopped the bus and pushed 2 children. Then she refused to move the bus. My child called me and I could hear the bus driver screaming at the kids over the phone. I drove down there (as did several other parents) to get my child and she refused to let me have her. I called the cops, they showed up, the parents who were on the scene were allowed to leave with their children, and the remaining children were transported home by another bus driver after the

Forsythia, but around here everyone just calls them yellow bells.

I talk to me all the time. I am the only one who takes me seriously! LoL

Do y'all remember a while back when Jeff and Jessica had a pretty big blow up about her contact with an ex? She had lied to Jeff about it, then he found out and they had a heated discussion on air about it.

JSYK, a few years ago, someone I know shot one with a 30.06 rifle. They thought it was dead, even held it up with wingspan spread out to take pictures. a few hours later it got up and drug itself down to the creek behind the house. They are quite resilient. An airsoft gun is probably not gonna do the trick.

You are likely correct. They will probably be hailed as heroes for "putting that woman in her place". In fact, their country sees the victim as the one who is dishonored. Yet another reason I am proud to be an American. For all of the flaws our country may have, at least we (for the most part) realize that this crime should be punishable.

Just saw this on the news and I cannot even begin to express my thoughts on what the punishment should be for their heinous acts. I am astonished that one human can subject another to such a level of atrocity without remorse. Clearly they lack a moral compass.

Sixthman has announced that my baby will be performing on the Simple Man Cruise aka The Skynyrd Cruise this Friday night!!!!

Aww hell I didn't even notice! LoL I never pay attention to those things.

I'm an equal opportunity biitch. I don't care what color you are. After reading this thread, the only implication of race I see was made by the very person "crying" race.

Since you are already gonna be down that way, how about ice skating at Centennial Park?

WoW! I just knew someone would manage to take this personally. Read my post again. I said the majority of teens these days. If that does not apply to your kid, then you have done your job as a parent. FWIW, my child doesn't have a sense of entitlement either. She also earns her own money AND makes honor roll every year Most (not all) of her peers sit around waiting for mommy and daddy to buy them a new laptop or ipod. My child purchased her own. Providing for your child is a completely different thing. My child does not use her earnings to pay bills or provide a roof over her own he

I keep a few in the car for retail stores because I use them everywhere, even at the mall. When I get home from the grocery store, I unload all the bags, fold them up, and put them all inside one bag. I hang them on a hook inside the pantry door. When I get ready to go grocery shopping, I always check the pantry to see what I need to get, then I see the bags hanging there so it reminds me to grab them.

I agree. It is a rarity for a teen to actually earn their own money these days. The majority of them have the sense of entitlement. I say kudos to the kid for dragging it out in this weather and going to his job.
