The bus driver called a student a negative term to another student whom has informed me

Bus driver of Octorara bus #6 has a serious road rage problem. Every week BOTH of my kids (and the neighborhood kids) have stories of how she leans out of the window mouthing off (especially at 4 way stop signs and construction crews). She uses HIGHLY inappropriate language and things like "You have to sit in the front of the bus all week because I'm sure at some time you were eating on my bus!" My kids don't eat on the bus (they all know who is, her son rides this bus and is allowed to eat and share with his friends but the kids in our neighborhood for the most part are decent kids; they have no reason to make up stories like this. I can attest to the road rage issue; she yelled at ME in my car one morning (4 way stop where I had the right of way). I see this lady flipping me off outside of the front vent window, head pressed to the opening yelling like a banshee like I killed her first born! I was shocked! I had no idea that was the same bus my kids use until I made a note to look at the back and sure enough, Bus #6! ALL of the parents in our community have complained about this lady. We're working on a petition to give the job to someone who can handle it.

She also yells at the kids to direct her when she's backing up and screams at them if the bus got too close or she hits a curb (last I knew, 7 year olds aren't meant to be directing a bus and if it hits the curb, how in the world can she blame the children)?



Bad decision hiring this lady. She should not be around children and she should not be using inappropriate language at the kids (not just my kids but anyone's kids). She obviously is holding a job above her maximum mental capacity!
