Non Mopar rant! High school politics.
I drive a school bus as a few here know, and it seems it's being left up to us to keep these SOB's under control and follow the rules. Rules like stay seated and pick up your garbage. Oh we write out "misconducts" on the trouble makers and what do they get, lunch hour detention, big hairy deal. Don't get me wrong 95% of the kids (when I'm full I got 65 on board) are good and just want to be left alone and get to their destination in one piece. Last month I had two of the three stooges causing a ruckus in the back of the bus (grade 8's and 9's are the worse) and wouldn't tone it down so I circled around and went back to the school. I pulled up to the front doors and told one of the monitors to go get the principal to my bus. When he got there I told him the trouble that was being caused and looked him straight in the face and informed him that this bus wasn't going anywhere until he did something about the troublemakers. He yanked the SOB's off and I didn't see them for 2 weeks and when they came back they were quiet as a mouse.
Thank god that fear and intimidation still works in this case for not only the kids but also for the principal. Oh yea, I also contacted these kids parents and cut them a new one too.8)
So that day a few life lessons were learned. 1/ crime and punishmment, 2/ take responsibility for your actions or you'll be forced too, 3/ I know where you all live and have your parents cell phone numbers, 4/ Most importantly is Don't Piss Off The Driver if you want to get home on time. 5/ Welcome to the world ya little turds.:-D:-D
