The recent misbehavior of the students on the bus is nothing new but just taking this whole thing to another level altogether.
The drivers cannot be blamed alone in this case.
Here the stakeholders have to come together.
Teachers, parents, bus drivers, bus companies etc.
It’s a sad thing that these children are not worried about their safety taking into consideration that they are not even that young to understand.
A teacher on the bus at that actual moment could have made some difference as well.
These students are tarnishing the school’s image.
Other issues need to be looked into as well such as the driver’s ability to sort out the issues i.e. how they handle it.
Not long ago we came across the situation of some students not allowed on the bus due to the school closure during the adverse weather conditions.
We cannot let these issues continue. Our students are the future of tomorrow and their safety matters but the overall model behind their behavior is to be scrutinized and fixed.
There is a solution to everything. One just has to start looking from all the angles.
