School Bus Woes In Queens - *Hundreds* Of Students Impacted (apartment, house)

Maybe that some kind of chancellor should spend less time trying to bust open schools and focus on doing his job; seeing to the smooth day to day running of the public school system.


This boy's school bus didn't come for two days; when it did, the ride lasted 4 hours and his ordeal was one of thousands during schools' opening days - NY Daily News

This society is getting more and more incompetent with each passing year.

Poor dears.
I had 19 years of schooling and was NEVER on a school bus.


Imagine the horror for them after the batteries on their phones ran down.

Privatizing important social functions in opaque deals with limited regulatory guidelines and teeth for enforcing such is sometimes a bad idea, you know?

Sometimes I think you're the only one who thinks you are funny.

In 20 yrs or so, we're complaining that the robots didn't show up on time.

And that is ALL that is important.


Don't feel too bad if you don't get my humor, perhaps too subtle for you? Many people can get through life with no sense of humor, so don't fret.

Was it blizzard conditions and 10 miles walking uphill each way?

I 've dealt with late school buses, it is not fun waiting 3 to 4 hours for your kid.

One occassion,the driver quit at dismissal time. The other, a broke down bus. Just some of many times until I said eff it and did it myself.

Calling the dispatch to find out why it's taking my kid a long time to get home, is a PITA, getting transferred 3 times to get an answer just adds to the pain.

No, but it was a half mile from Kindergarten through Second grade and then near a mile for Third through 12 (with some hills) And yes, a lot of Winters through Pennsylvania blizzard conditions. They didn't close school for snow.


College I drove. (Frat house was off campus.) Grad school I had my own apartment in neighboring City.


But NEVER a schoolbus.
