And alot of other things over the years I won't go into. Public schools are a cesspool of, well think about it. Unfortunately, over the years, teaching has been made into such an unglamorous job. Poor conditions, terrible administrators, stupid standards, horrible testing, no support for teachers, poor pay for what they have to do and the responsibility they have. Consequently, there are a ton of terrible teachers and administrators out there, and it gets harder all the time for the truly great ones who want to be there. Most of the best and smartest people go into something else that can make more money. As you know, I left after 8 years to go back and get my masters degree. Got tired of dealing with all the crap and making just over 40k a year. There are so many issues in education right now. Part of me hopes the teacher shortage gets so bad that it forces an overhaul of the educational system. There needs to be a lot done to get better people going into education again. There are a whole lot of idiots out there teaching right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 How is this bus driver not immediately fired? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/oak-ridge-six-year-old-asked-to-walk-home-alone-after-bus-driver-missed-stop/ar-AAQ4DR3?ocid=msedgntp “She told the bus driver she had missed her stop. The bus driver then asked what grade she was in,” said Chapman. “My daughter responded she was in the first grade and the driver said, ‘Can you walk home from here?’” According to Chapman, Seeley isn’t the kind of kid to say no to an adult, so she answered yes and got off the bus approximately a half mile away from her home. As the first-grader walked home afraid and crying, a woman walking her dog noticed her and offered to help her walk home. Chapman called this woman a ‘guardian angel’ for her act of kindness. In response, Oak Ridge Schools released a statement that said they would implement steps to ensure the mistake would not happen again. “A monitor will be riding the bus to provide the driver additional training and support. We have emphasized with all drivers that students are not to be required to walk an additional distance due to a driver missing a stop. The driver is expected to circle back and drop the student off at the assigned bus stop. The driver involved in this incident will be required to document all students leaving the bus. This requirement will assure that this mistake isn’t repeated,” Oak Ridge Schools’ statement said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh please, my entire neighborhood required most of us to walk a minimum of 1/4 mile home from our bus stop. Yeah I get that the bus driver needed to be aware, but this is a nonissue as far as I’m concerned. Maybe, it’s a learning opportunity?

While i understand what you are saying, i used to walk to school further then this, it is a different world we live in nowadays and i am not sure i would want my 5 or 6 year old daughter walking 1/2 mile home alone anymore. Especially after reading the article and it states that 10 people on the sex offender list live within a mile radius from home. I guess it all depends on the neighbor you live in. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with your point here, But a first grader, in a "strange" situation that hadn't been a practice and planned before hand, nah I can't get be hind this one in this instance. I think the driver would have been "thrown under the bus!", so to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 A former stripper and a monkey are in the middle of bizarre college football rumor On Monday, a tweet from Thomas Campbell claimed a “credible source” said that a monkey belonging to Texas Longhorns special teams coach Jeff Banks attacked and injured a young trick-or-treater on Halloween. According to USA Today, Campbell is a Texas sports photographer and once was a stringer for USA Today. The tweet had curious fans digging for more information, and now it’s rumored that Banks is in a relationship with the monkey’s owner, Danielle Thomas — a former stripper whose stage name was Pole Assassin. The monkey, Gia, was apparently part of her pole act. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
