Should I talk to the Principal

[*Efjay*]

BTW bus drivers are one of my current problems too! DD2 has had one that swears at the kids and smokes while driving!!

OMG your Kidding!!
My issue was the driver (one of 3) doesn't wait for the kids (remember this is a 5 yr old with a big back pack) to be seated before pulling away. Also (the straw that broke the camels back) he yelled at Evan for sitting on the back seat. this was only the 5th time he had caught the bus & he didn't know, nor did I or the other parent I meet at the stop know that the kids are not allowed to sit up there (school rule) & when Evan didn't jump up straight away he yelled again loud enough to be heard outside the bus to "get off the back seat NOW!".
I wasn't actually there at the time, DH had taken him to the bus & it was the other parent that pointed out it was Evan being yelled at. The other parent actually called & complained to the school before I got the chance too.
Oh also the fact he doesn't acknowledge the kids as they get on & as slim as the chances are of it happening (but never say never) if he crashed the bus after picking up these kids, how can he for sure know exactly how many had gotten on? Simply watching as the kids get on would be enough to at least have an idea that 2 kids got on KWIM.

I was talking with toher parents today & the bus driver came up & I was saying what had happened & I complained etc, I was told not to hold my breath to see any changes. I said well I will be & if they don't happen I will kick & scream. I am new tot he area & school so they don't know what they are dealing with! LOL I am willing to be the voice of many parents concerns who have just given up!

go see the princepal , speak about your concerns and also put in writing , then they will have to give you a written reply . you then have further grounds to stand on if it gets happening . been there before at my sons old school . what ever you do always speak and give them a written letter , other wise they just turn a blind eye.

Far out! Why would anyone want to be so awful to a five year old? That's nuts. Let us know how it goes after the teacher speaks to the principal.

heheh this actually happened last year and funny enough I have grown to actually like this teacher more then the other. He had both this year again. Both are nice for different reasons but if I need to talk to them about something I always go to this teacher as she seems more understanding. I think now that they know Evan & I know them its a much nicer relationship.

I just noticed this is from last year! I just looked at the month and not the date
