School Bus Drivers Scared of Northwestern High Routes

Three students attacked a Prince Georges County school bus driver at Northwestern High School Tuesday.

[The truth hurts]

""All three face the possibility of suspension, expulsion and criminal charges.""

POSSIBILITY? Attacking someone over nothing and theres a possibility they might be brought up on charges. WHATS wrong with this state? The County? The law enforcement?

How about they put every students life in danger. Isnt that endangerment??? The parents of these students should be raising hell!! The school system should be protecting the innocent students and the bus drivers lifes. The parents and the school should be insisting (DEMAND) they be brought up on every charge POSSIBLE.

"The no Thug left behind rule needs to be revised."

The bad element should be removed from all school systems. Any known gang member first, REMOVED. Start by putting them in anger management and behavioral modification classes off school grounds away from the innocent.

We need to get stricter, NO EXUSES, NO TOLERANCE for violence. One rule PROTECT the innocent.

This will give the students that really want to learn a real chance at getting the best education.

Education is priceless and these kids are being robbed of what they can learn. We need to keep them out of harms way. Removing the thugs will be their only chance. Handing them everything and being nice isnt working.

REMOVE THE BAD ELEMENT..

Teacher’s look at education news from around the Web.

A Student-Violence Epidemic
The cell phone video of a student's violent attack on Baltimore art teacher Jolita Berry has stunned viewers nationwide. But teachers in Baltimore say the incident was by no means unusual.“Believe me, this is not news to those of us who have worked in the schools,” said Ronda Cooperstein, a former teacher at Reginald F. Lewis High, the school where Berry was assaulted.“It’s a day-to-day problem, and if it doesn’t happen to me today, it might happen to you tomorrow.”

That’s apparently no exaggeration. In Baltimore this year, according to the Baltimore Sun, 50 students have been arrested and 112 have been expelled for assaulting staff members. State records, meanwhile, show that there have been 515 suspensions in Baltimore this year for student attacks on school staff.

The media coverage of the attack on Berry has at least heightened attention on addressing the problem. Among other things, the district plans to expand mental health and mentoring services for students and to make available additional funds for schools to implement anti-violence initiatives, such as mediation programs.

Right on!

Im all for removing the bad element.
They're not there to learn so why should they be allowed on school grounds? How many chances do you give someone???

There's been many reports on teachers and bus drivers being attacked.
One teacher a women fought back against 2 students and one of the parents tried to have the teacher brought up on charges. Then of course Im getting my Lawyer and sueing.
The MY Lawyer issue do these people always have to say MY lawyer. I dont have a my Lawyer.LOL

Children should not be in fear to ride the bus or to attend classes.
