Hostage situation???
I was driving home and I got a phone call. I answered and Katie blurted out, "We're all being held hostage on the bus!" Time...stood....still. The sound of blood whooshing in my ears took over. I had visions of armed gunmen and terrified kids held for ransom for the release of some third world terrorist. I stammered 'What?" (I am cool like that in a crisis!) She then began to tell me a story how they had a substitute bus driver that day, and after everyone got on the bus, she pulled it around into a different parking lot and stopped. She then began yelling at the kids for having been crazy the day before. Funny thing is she was NOT their driver the day before. The kids tried to tell her that, but it only made her madder. She screamed and yelled at them then just sat there. For 30 more minutes. Just to punish them. For something they didn't do. Freaking psycho bus driver, on a vendetta against those crazy kids. It would almost be funny if other situations like that hadn't made it into the news for ending tragically. So now I get to call the school, and although I don't have to ask about Big Chunky, I now have to ask about Crazy Psycho Substitute Bus Driver. Homeschooling is looking better and better.....

I often ponder over why I homeschool, and then I read/hear things like this and it all makes sense to me. It's always something to consider.
What a horrible bus driver!
Ugh

Whoa! I'd be ticked!
Oh my! I'm originally from Arizona and wasn't there a situation like that in the East Valley somewhere...I haven't even looked at your profile yet, but I'm betting you are from that area? I was reading all about that in the E.V.Tribune...
LOL, okay, so I'm wrong. You're from Tx. Well, anyway, they had a very similar situation there too. It's kind of scary sending your kids out into the big bad world, isn't it?
