    Never met you two. Saw a kid walking down the road yesterday in shorts. Admittedly it felt "warm" but not that warm.

    Bus drivers should take some blame as to why children are so soft now a days. There's no reason a bus should sit at the end of a driveway waiting for the kid/kids to come outta the house and walk down the driveway. If that kid or kids aren't at the end of the driveway when the bus stops there's no reason to wait more than 3 sec. Truthfully, if the kid ain't out there or the bus driver doesn't see them running down the driveway while approaching, there's no reason to even turn the red lights on.

    I grew up in a house with a 500ft long driveway and we waited at the end of it for the bus. Sometimes for more than 20 min in the middle of winter with no shack to hide in.

    This bus driver did me dirty 2 days in a row at the same house! I was approaching the bus head on and it was at least a 1/4 mile away when i could see the red lights come on. I had to come to a stop even though, I'm pretty sure, no kids got on the bus either day. :hair:

    "Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, and right is right, even if nobody is doing it." St, Augustine

    You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life.

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
