• Do Your Kids Walk To School?

  You know the old joke about how your parents walked to school. Up hill. Both ways. In a snowstorm. (Even in summer.) While being chased by a tiger. A really hungry tiger. (I added the part about the tiger.) Well, with child obesity rates on the rise, maybe it's time to pull that old chestnut out of mothballs. What prompted all this? Well, April 8 is National Start! Walking Day, sponsored by the American Heart Association. (Oh, don't pretend like you didn't already know.) Read More...

• Mom Found Guilty of Trespassing After Jumping on Speeding School Bus

  A Raeford, North Carolina, mother says she feels relieved after receiving a guilty verdict in connection with her actions in January, when she boarded a school bus she says was speeding through a residential neighborhood. Mindy Brumfiel says the bus appeared to be traveling more than 40 miles an hour in a 15 mile per hour zone, and so when it stopped, she got on. After the bus driver asked her to get off, she said she wouldn't until she got her own daughter off -- then proceded to call the driver and idiot and tell him he was speeding. Read More...

• Bus Driver Spanks 6 Year Old For Not Sitting Down

  A six-year-old won't sit down on the bus. What do you do? If you're one Oregon bus driver, you spank his little tushie and put him back in his seat. Or maybe (just thinking out loud here), you could put his seatbelt on and tell him to sit there . . . then write him up for disobeying and put it in the hands of administrators and his parents? Apparently, I wouldn't make much of a bus driver. Read More...

• Middle Schoolers Exposed to Curse Words, Parents Shocked

  Parents of middle schoolers in Fresno, Calif. were shocked, shocked, I tell you, when they learned their kids had been exposed to curse words.

• Girl Saves Lives, Gets Punished

  A fifteen-year-old high school student, Amanda Rouse, stopped an out-of-control school bus by pulling the emergency brake. When the bus driver fell out of her seat, she yelled to Amanda for assistance. The teen quickly put the brake on and the bus hit two parked cars and stopped. She then helped the driver up, who called the school transportation authorities. None of the 40 elementary school kids on the bus were injured, and the driver suffered only minor damage. Kudos to Amanda for her quick action. So what did Amanda get for her heroism? Saturday school. See... Read More...

• Mom Goes Dirty Harry On Bullies

  A mom in Jacksonville says her son was being bullied on the school bus and she wanted to put an end to it. So she allegedly showed up at the bus stop, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at students, saying, "Does anyone have something to say?" Somehow I have a feeling the kids didn't have much to say at that point. She's being charged with improper exhibition of a firearm. I can see how it might be improper for a forty-year-old woman to exhibit her firearm at kids at a school bus stop. But I will tell you that while I certainly don't condone threatening children...  Read More...
