This whole thing screams of  .

How so?

It's just more sensationalizing by the MSM. A person that could not handle the job they were hired for, buckled under pressure. Boo Hoo. This is not news worthy IMHO. They only thing that this lady should get is a pink-slip. The only thing about this that anybody should be upset about, is that the school system hired this shlub in the first place. OR that instead of paying her to sit there, powerless, the school system could have paid 1/40th the cost to buy and install a camera on the bus. When I was in school, there was no "monitor". There was no camera. If I acted up on the bus, the driver would pull over, scream at you, and then you had to clean the entire bus the next morning as punishment. This was SOP. I haven't been out of school all that long. Has the entire society become such pansies in such a short amount of time!?! THAT is why this whole thing REEKS of  .

Fei-xue like this is one of the many, many reasons why I am so -incredibly- glad I work in private, free-market education.

This shit would (if we had busses) been dealt with thussly-

1-  Hire driver/monitor with extensive military, industrial, or stand-up comedy background.

2-  If/when behavior such as this occurs, driver/monitor yells at kids: kids have to clean bus, haul large logs/rocks (current Work Detail assignment), or do pushups until driver/monitor gets tired.

3-  If situation repeats kid is expelled, and we keep their grades/transscript and tuition. If disrespect was bad enough, kid gets expelled at the first instance.

We have one little feifei de piyan who's getting the heave for such behavior this very evening, and good riddance to him. He's lasted less than a week, and just cost his folks several thousand now-pointless FRNs.

What I'd -really- like is an old-fashioned Crank Machine, like the Brits used to have for "Hard Labour" in prisons. A few hundred revolutions of cranking big paddles around in a drum full of sand will work up one helluva sweat!

And it's not all the fault of government schools, per se.  I went to them, in the 1960s and '70s, and this would NOT have happened then.  Back then, any kid acting like this would have had his butt whipped.  First by the school personnel, then by the parents at home when they found out what he did.

I don't know what all the root causes are, or how it can be fixed at this point, but kids are out of control these days.

I am a victim of them as well.  Ever since a condo development went in on the neighboring (former) farm, it has turned into the Devil's Spawning Ground, with kids repeatedly trespassing on and vandalising my property, and generally harassing me.

If anybody has any solutions, I would love to hear them.

Contract overrun concertina wire.  Ring your property with it on the inside.  It's for 'animal control', doncha know?

There's other suggestions... razor wire, barbed wire, tanglefoot, flares, tripwires... have fun with it and go wild... make your property so UNfriendly that the locals give you a wide berth...

I don't know why, but hearing her being called a "shlub" makes me profoundly sad...

Maybe because these feral children of today are tomarrows cannibals.

How pitiful to live that way.

Why not live in a place where one can be at peace with the neighbors? I have no need for any of that. The "locals" are my friends.

If I did that, the asshole adults in the condo development would turn me into the Code Enforcement Nazis, which they already did for lesser stuff.

Sorry to hear that... however, if there are no "restrictions" on the plants you have on your property, I can think of some really nasty, thorny specimens that, if planted in depth and breadth, would probably even keep a hungry lion off your property... sort of like how the natives in Africa use the Acacia bush.  They use great heaps of Acacia and make a great ring of it around their sleeping place... not even the hungriest lions will dare that thorny hell for a meal. 

On a sidenote, "code enforcement nazis" is partially why I moved me and my family out where we live now.... no pencilnecked assholes to knock on my door telling me I have to tear something down or paint something or get rid of something because it "violated" some made up bullshit rule.... feh... I got enough problems without extra-governmental groups knocking on my door wanting to know why I did "X".

I make friends rarely.  I have many acquaitances, but I can count my true friends on one hand. 

My opinion is that the situation in America is going to get bloody, quickly.  I have 1000 empty sandbags in the garage, just in case, and quite a lot of barbed wire.  I hope I never have to fortify our little retreat here, but I will when things take a turn for the worse.

Pitiful?  Yeah, it is.  But this ain't the 1950's anymore.  The goblins and Uruk-Hai are foraging farther afield these days, and not even our little retreat here is safe, which is why I sleep with a 12 gauge stuffed with buckshot and a .45 next to me (which is also pitiful, but that is the situation we find ourselves in today).

[khyeron]

Know what amuses me?  That you folks are so down on these kids, and the poor lady, but I was subjected to this kind of crap my entire childhood here in America.  Being a short foreign bookworm who was also into sports apparently wasn't conducive to being not bullied.  Knocking them on their asses worked for me, somewhat, but the teachers sided with the scum (aka the assholes in the vid.)

I agree with silver, government schools are like jailhouses, where the guards restrain the inmates who won't sit still and be raped in the shower.  (I paraphrased less nicely but you get the point.)

This situation was just a guard who should have known  better than to take the job.  Sorry to say but I'm with Loco on this one.  If she couldn't handle those idiots... she ain't fit to be on the Prussian Prison Bus Staff.

Another way to handle this is, stop the bus, call them a cab, the kids should have received a cab call to drop them off at home, their parents notified that a cab will drop them off and that the kids are no longer permitted on the bus until the parents take responsibility for their children's actions and the bill should have been charged to the school and/or the parents.  Period.  A 40 or 50 dollar cab fare to each asshole's parent would have taught them far more the value of civility than anything else.  That'd be a lot of allowance or one very good videogame (or a couple of Playboys.)
