As far as the educational system where some of these parents have come from, the area, the school boards method at that time...? We have to look at all of the information. But even if the school system of the parents were bad, at some point in the parents life, they should wake up and understand. Too many people are asleep!Michael Homannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550222691875074441.post-72386517886762294932012-06-29T22:04:43.669-06:002012-06-29T22:04:43.669-06:00I'm not sure the bus driver knew - in fact, I ...I'm not sure the bus driver knew - in fact, I assume he didn't, or something would have happened. But I agree that the other kids were 'numb.' How was there not one of their peers who would say, Hey Jackasses, lay off the bus monitor. My focus is more on the parents - they have given the world a few world class jerks.mmazenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602797515366983639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550222691875074441.post-35549852073702327282012-06-28T07:28:37.555-06:002012-06-28T07:28:37.555-06:00In my day, if that would have happened on my bus, ...In my day, if that would have happened on my bus, the bus driver would have stopped the bus, gotten out of his seat, and came back and told everyone... if you continue to act like that, you will be kicked off the bus. So I would like to know how everyone has gotten so numb to what is going on around them? I hear people on television state how wonderful it is to live in the city, the social experience, and that country people are dumb hicks that are afraid of each other and uneducated, yet a man can be laying in his own pool of blood on the sidewalk, and people walk by talking on their cell phones, or taking a photo for their Facebook page. It seems people are becoming less and less mentally aware and active in our societies. Besides the fact that parents are also responsible, today... our system makes everyone afraid to respond. In one case, you might be singled out as a angry, old timer that just wants to hit kids, on the other hand, your not capable of doing what's right. Basically, no one can win this if we do not get to the core of what the main problems are. Those at the top are making it wrong no matter what, so people are chosing not to act at all. It's a real pity we have allowed these things to come about in the first place.Michael Homannoreply@blogger.com
