Somewhat. Used to, you could get three kids to a seat. Nowadays, with bigger kids, and the big backpacks that all the munchkins have, two is about as good as it gets. Here's one that may surprise you....a lot of California school districts have busses that are thirty years old, and sometimes older. In Louisiana, the State Department of Education mandates no older than 10 years old, for safety reasons. I'm guessing the mean income in Red River Parish does not exceed $25K. Couple that with Homestead Exemption, and I'd like to see some of our resident rocket scientists run a school district with that kind of money.... |

For this reason, why would the kids getting on last walk all the way to the back of the bus? Surely it makes more sense to have the ones who get on first go right to the back and fill the bus from the back forwards... |

Really depends on the trip direction and where the loading is done. If the kids are loaded all at once in a safe area next to the school when the engine isn't running and the driver is not seated, it's easier to supervise that loading than the stop/start unloading in the streets. Here there is a strict procedure for both loading and dropping off. |

That jells with my memories, distant and faint as they are. The back was the place to be. If you got caught acting up there, the driver made you sit in the front. This whole thing seems to be getting a lot more attention that I would have thought it deserved. Seeing everything in racial terms gives a much too black and white view of the world than really exists, IMHO. Big Al |

please stop being so nasty and ugly. I will remind you that this is a family forum. We never used that kind of talk in the OCR and we shouldn't be using it here. If you must get that ugly please take it to a PM. Thank you. |

Actually, we did use that kind of language, regularly, in the OCR. Far more regularly than here. I, however, will pledge not to curse, except in response to others who start cursing at me first. As happened above. Please remind me of that pledge if I stray. |

No I don't, sweetcheeks; the above quote was made in a posting at the same time as mine, and I hadn't seen it. And call me cynical, but having "no record of previous reprimands" is not the same as having no complaints. |
