    My son's school district lost 24 kids when a drunk driver hit a church bus coming back from a theme park.

    You cannot imagine how long it takes to get a new "normal" established after an accident.

    My prayers are for the parents and teachers that have to help the children go to school tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that until the fears subside.

    Driver has been charged with five counts of vehicular homicide. Speeding caused the crash.[:(]

    Several reasons, larger buses are equipped with padded, crash absorbing seats (B.S.)

    and this:

    On Sept. 1, more than four years after the West Brook bus crash, a Texas law went into effect requiring some school buses to have seat belts. But "Ashley's and Alicia's Law" - the result of lobbying by Brown, Forman and other Texas parents - is now in limbo because of a Texas Education Agency contention that it isn't really mandatory because the Legislature cut the money to pay for it by two-thirds.

    One more bunch of B.S. It's simply MONEY, like the schools don't have enough because teaching quality education costs big time, subjects like Ebonics, Hip Hop, and probably "Best methods to eat food that don't require spoons, forks or knifes. With an elective, "licking plates the right way".

    Arrest records mean nothing when you'd be sued under the pretense of being a racist.

    It never ceases to amaze me that we pay decent money to haul goods in trucks, but often, minimum wage to rookies to carry our most precious asset, children. If it weren't for a dedicated core group of women,(housewives etc) that do it, the carnage would be far greater.

    They have a constant need for school bus drivers around here. It might be worth more than minimum wage to have your children safe.

    Buses are built with safer seats and padding to eliminate the need for seat belts.

    Besides, it would be impossible for a driver to insure that 60 rowdy kids are properly buckled throughout their route. Additionally, middle school kids would beat the hell out of each other with them. [xx(]
