Yesterday this bus driver for my daughter's high school went completely insane on the kids, left the bus and quit her job. It's absolutely glorious to watch š Mod's Choice š
Background: this is in Amherst, Ohio where I live. I've heard from people who know this bus driver that she was constantly tormented by the high schoolers on her bus . . . that they put tacks and needles on her chair, and they knew she was allergic to this type of perfume so they would spray it to make her sick (none of that is confirmed, I just heard it second-hand.)
If that's the case, I dont blame her for going nuts. I've heard that there is a GoFundMe set up for her that is selling t-shirts, but I haven't looked for it. (My daughter wasn't on this bus and ahe didn't take this video.)

I remember actually being friends with my bus driver. Dude knew my name, weād talk sometimes. Needless to say I wasnāt the most popular kid lol but if he saw me running for the bus heād stop and let me on.
No idea why kids find it hilarious to torment an adult like this. I hope they grow up and cringe at how terrible they acted towards this teacher and really change how they think.

since i only recently graduated 2 years ago, i was able to reach out to almost every teacher i had k-12 despite movine between so many different schools. I was able to reach out to them and apologize.
Took my a few months to track a few teachers down. Some got married and changed names or moved schools, Some didn't have emials on school websites, some were retired. One of them actually did 3 of those things. I also tracked down friends i met through the years middle and high school and caught up with them.
Could never find Mrs. Burke. But i remember seeing a news story years ago about a woman with the last name Burke who was arrested and she happened to be a school teacher who lived in that same area. was never able to confirm if it was my former teacher but if it was it would be why i couldn't get in contact with her. Wish I knew what got her locked up (if it's her and not a teacher with the same name, race, hair color and physical build.

One day she asked if I would like to help her with the days lesson. I told her no (anxious 9th grader) and I vividly remember her face falling. I still cringe at myself to this day

My bus driver was named John. Dude had a really nice cowboy hat he wore daily. On my last day I gifted him a new one. He was an old dude with tourettes that caused tremors. Doubt he ever wore it but it felt like a nice gesture considering he was my only drop off driver from k-12.
Still see him around occasionally as an adult. Still wearing that old cowboy hat.

I had a bus driver that handled this kind of behavior by driving really slow, stopping to catch every light and stopping for extended periods of time when she let kids off of the bus. She would name out the kids causing problems and announce that everyone was getting home late tonight because of them. Divide and conquer is a solid strategy.

Hey pal, I've got a story that might make you feel better. I did get a chance to say I was sorry to my bus driver.
To keep a long story short, I was a little shit on the bus in middle school. Every time they suspended me from the bus, I deserved it. I got into scuffles, I threw shit out the windows, just bad shit. This absolute Saint of a woman whom drove the bus was called Ms. Brown, and she kept a firm yet calm demeanor through it all. She personally hauled me to the principal's office at least once, but she never really lost her cool.
Years later, I'm managing a DMV. Suddenly Ms. Brown is standing at the counter in front of me, having not aged a single day. It was absolutely surreal; I would have felt like a kid again were I not then taller than she was.
I went about the DMV work as per my job, but midway through the transaction, I humbled myself before her. I apologized for how horrible I had been as a kid, and how much grief I must have caused her, and how thankful I was that she behaved so professionally in spite of it. I really poured it out.
She told me she didn't remember me.
It was like a fucking ghost passed through me, man. Like I felt the shockwave of her words as they passed over me. "What?? She doesn't even remember the time I threw Nick's book out the window? Or the time I punched Joey in the face?", I thought.
Nope. I kept thinking she'd see me at the right angle and remember who I was, but no. I finished helping her title her new car, and she left.
All this to say what I got out of the experience: an understanding that you are a side character in everyone else's lives. The likelihood that they remember you specifically, much less hold a grudge, is probably pretty low. Unless you did some especially memorable/ egregious shit, which you probably didn't!
All you can do now is be better, which with the right mindset, is way easier than being worse. ā¤ļø

My thoughts exactly.
The kid recorded audio of the rant and posted it.
I don't know what happened, but teacher was the guy that would help his students find a place to stay when their parents kicked them out, the guy that encouraged everyone to have empathy for their worst enemy.
It would break me to work for 20 years and be brought down by an asshole kid who did God knows what and the PTA for simply trying to do right for the students.

She wasnāt mad though, or critiquing the kids like this bus driver. she was sobbing and just voicing her emotions, like, āI canāt do this anymore.ā It was really sad. We had a permanent sub the rest of the year.

This is what happened to my science teacher. A group of girls who were a pieces of trash to her, just pushed her everyday to the point she ran to the bathroom to cry and break down. It was horrible. The head of the science department came down after and let the whole class have it. We didnāt see her again after that.

I did also! She was so sweet too, I loved her class. Some reason the whole grade class ganged up on her because she was quite and made us do āboringā work in class. Every period she had was just horrible to her. She told us we ruined her passion, bawled her eyes out, and quit.

My US history teacher's husband died while they were intimate and she got pregnant as a result of it. I knew because my ex-mother was a teacher at the time and was friends with almost all the teachers, had them over for parties often, etc. I never told anyone, but someone must've said something to someone, because one day, one kid started giving this teacher lip, saying horrible things that weren't exactly on the mark, but close enough that the teacher had a breakdown. She was a great teacher and pretty well loved. So a lot of us got together and beat that kid's ass in the fucking parking lot before he got to his car. The teacher took a leave of absence, came back to work at about 6 months along, and that little asshole was moved to another class.

It definitely is part of it. Kids pick up on the conversations their parents have about other people.
Growing up I was fortunate enough to have a father that worked as a teacher at a K-12, which I also went to. He made it a point to talk to everyone in the school system. He would chat with fellow teachers, he knew the bus drivers, and he would talk with the janitors during the after hours when he was there for office work. It taught me to respect everyone and hear them out, despite their apparent station.
But then I would go to my friends houses for a sleepover, and overhear their parents talk down about those people. They just assumed that because they made better money and that those people were making less in these jobs, that they were lesser people.
Itās gross. So many jobs that people donāt want to do are necessary to provide for the lives some want to live. Yet the fortunate look down on them. Imagine where the fortunate would be if everyone quit serving them? Probably with their thumbs in their ass or mouth.

I'd love to make this an actual trend. It's about time kids learn that they're not entitled to get driven to school. That's a treat. Many kids in other countries walk further than that bus drives to get to their school, because they know education is a god damn privilege. It's time kids learn that being a shithead means people don't help you. Those drivers should have the right to deny kids access to the bus.
If parents rely on the bus to get them to school, they better make sure they raise their kid so they don't abuse people doing them a god damn favour.
Was it always like this? Kids mess around, sure. I feel like it's becoming more common that schools and employers allow others to push their employees until they snap.

You can add the schools to the list of people to blame. The drivers fill out reports, then the schools do nothing about the kids. The school staff are too scared to deal with the parents. Teachers rush to get the kids onto the buses and out of their own hair. Kids have been empowered to misbehave, then push the fault onto the person that reacted.

It shifted pre-pandeminc, but COVID really kicked it into overdrive. Parents were screaming to get the schools re-opened not to further their childrens education, but because they can't handle them at home and wanted the taxpayer funded daycare opened back up - viral pandemic be damned.
Then they got admin, who doesn't want to suspend students because it ends up on reports that make the school look bad. Go read the teaching subreddits, it's full of horror stories. Students in some districts get in physical fights with the teachers, and admin tries to sweep it under the rug taking the child for a walk, or letting them watch a movie. Teachers in union schools have some recourse, but the rest of them are at the whims of admin.
And the students aren't oblivious to this either. They know that their classmates are doing crazy shit and suffering no real consequences - so they can too. They record it on their phones and upload it trying to one-up each other in outrageous behavior (or just plain vandalism) because they believe its not a big deal, and the admins behavior reinforces their belief.

Dealt with this. The school told me they don't kick kids off the bus and they also don't suspend students.... So do they want me to deal with it personally with the mom at morning drop off because I can do that? Something tells me they'd take action against me at that point.

Late boomer here who went to grade school in 60ās/70ās. Will never forget Hank the bus driver who was also custodian for the school. You screwed around on his bus and he would stop the bus and come grab you by the ear pinching it between his thumb and forefingers and drag you to front on bus. It hurt like hell. Would then get a cloth diaper out of glove box and put it down on floor near top of stairwell and tell you to sit your baby ass down. You had to sit there for rest of bus route with the other kids looking at you as they got on/off the bus. Happened to me once, never screwed around on Hankās bus again nor will I ever forget the memory.

I've been telling my teacher friends over the past couple of years that the only real way I see half of the kids acting out to start acting in line is to start publicly shaming them. If they want attention, then they'll gain negative attention. I haven't had a single one of my friends disagree.
Yes it's cruel. But humans have been using shame as a punishment since laws were established. You don't need to tar and feather the kid. Just shame them enough to knock them down a few pegs.

I agree. I've gotten some dirty looks from other teachers because I have a habit of pointing out the behavior I don't want to see, and asking the person responsible to fix it. And I require a verbal response before I go back to teaching (a la "i need you to keep your voice quiet right now. Do you think you can do that for me? ... im sorry i couldnt hear you, do you think that would be okay?"). They haaaaaaaaate it.
This is very very very against current theory, that says you should praise and reward the correct behavior and hope that others emulate it.

I'm not a teacher but I've dealt with kids enough to know that making fun of their dumb behaviors makes them extremely embarrassed and makes them stop. They end up looking like a fool and they lose "social credit" with their peers for lack of a better term.

I was a substitute for Austin ISD in 2007/08. Thank god it was in the āpre-everyone has a cell phoneā era. Those fucking monsters donāt deserve an education. My last day of subbing I was at my desk reading while the class was doing their assignment. Two little shits that started up at the beginning kept at it. I learned early to never engage them. Just call the resource officer. I looked up to give them their final warning. As I looked down a pencil hit the top of my head. Easily couldāve been my eye. I picked up the phone and asked for the resource officer then went to the rear of the class so the studentās backs were to me. I sat there quietly waiting. Finally both of those little shits tried giving me a look. The resource officer came in and I pointed at them and said, āTheyāre done. Take them away.ā Which he did. When I returned to the front of the room I asked them if anyone else wanted to be escorted out. Could have heard a pin drop. That was the last day I ever subbed. Fuck those little bastards.

At a nice dinner last night and one of our friends had a meltdown (of a much, much smaller scale) about what she has become because of the treatment her students give her. Another teacher at the table began to engage her about the topic and I'm glad I had the sense to keep my mouth shut the whole time. Teachers in this country have PTSD and the rest of us really have nothing to add to the conversation. We would do well to shut up and listen.
