It takes a while for long form coverage of certain things, but that video of the potty mouthed youngster on a city school bus has revealed widespread behavior problems on the busses, that on average four times a day result in a suspension.
The kid in question in the Internet video has been kicked off the bus for the school year, which is now over. Shorter suspensions are routinely handed out and cameras are on the busses, so this incident was well known weeks before it went viral on the Net.
Its a sign of the times we have this extensive a problem and its a shame it took a You Tube posting to let us know just how ill mannered many in a new generation have become.
Makes it tough for the kids who do behave.

This is always an easy one. Kick them off and let them walk. Or let them quit. Not everyone is going to use the advantage they are given.
What I would like to see. For every one of these kids there is a child living in a third world country begging for food and school. Swap them out. Make a nice trade. Give a kid a chance.
If 4 are kicked off every day you can bet that means 40 should have been kicked off.
You need to understand, bad superintendents are just like bad managers. When they are too lazy, incompetent or don't want to deal with the the wrath of the state over their numbers, then they think it is easier to let kids get away with things. The end result is just like what a manager gets in the workplace where the lowest common denominator sets the pace.
If you make an example out of and eliminate the jerks then your job as a manger or a superintendent is much easier in the long run.
