Sleet & Ice in the forecast, already falling in some areas. I hear thunder. It hasn’t yet started here but is approaching.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy They have a monitor on each bus here plus cameras. Hiring monitors means more money that the school system has to spend. I guess they figure it’d be cheaper than a lawsuit.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy We had a mean bus driver when I was in 6th-7th grade. He was a college student but had a mean mouth and insulted a lot of us. One day he did it to my friend’s brother, who also had a smart mouth. He was about 16 and smarted back to the bus driver. The bus driver pulled over on the side of the road and said he would fight him. They both got out and we watched them fight. Another time the driver got mad at another teen boy and kicked him off the bus in the country several miles from home. Both those incidents would get the schools sued now. And another time this same bus driver slammed on the brakes and one of the boys hit his mouth on the back of the metal bar over the seat in front of him, got off the bus crying because it hurt so bad.
@cherokeepatti they actually had high school students driving the busses when i was a kid....... they stopped that after so many busses being involved in wrecks.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy I don’t ever remember them hiring high school students. Maybe not legal to do that in Oklahoma. I knew a farm wife that did it. Took care of the farm and house stuff between the two shifts.
