In reply to Kim. I have spoken to the parents of these kids. But to no avail. These parents are ruthless. The one parent is a substite teacher in the school district so why would the school district go against her. The other parent is just a problem parent. These 2 kids were on the bus talking about "shooting someone" when asked by the assistant principle the teachers child said they were talking about shooting rabbits. Of course we will take the word of one of our teachers. These 2 kids

also threw a pencil back and fouth under the seat (So they weren't caught by the bus driver)

This pencil hit my child & left a scratch on my childs leg. Let it be known that I talked to the parents about this & both of the kids admitted to it. When I talked to Mr. Spack about this incident for the second time he claimed that I never brought it to his attention. Mrs Coulters son is also been reported for swearing on the bus numerous times. Was he punished? probablly not. It just seems funny to me that out of the many parents & kids that I have spoken to no one has seen or heard of the many incidents that Mrs. Coulter claims that happened on this bus. The problem in my view is not the bus or the driver it is 2 parents with possible problem kids that want a special bus to pick up their kids & transport them to school. That is what Mrs Coulter indicated to me in a phone call that she made to me. Mrs coulter son also, poked a kid on this bus route & was repeated asked to stop, after being asked about 4 times the other kid pushed her son & said I told you to stop. Its a simple case of cause & effect. People including, kids can only be pushed so far. I was at the school board meeting when all the kids & parents showed up in support of our bus driver & yet Mr Spack was not there. Mr Campbell & his family were. Many Parents were. But instead of going against 2 parents they swapped 2 bus drivers & disrupted 2 bus loads of kids & parents. Some of these kids cry because they want their bus driver back & it is not just on our route, but the other route as well. If I were a parent & things were as bad as Mrs. Coulter claims I would drive my child to school everyday. But, then again, it seems to me that her child is one of the problem kids, doing just what she is complaining about. I think that this problem is bigger than the buses.

I am beginning to think that we as parents need to look at the administration as well. Maybe they aren't the root of the problem, but I don't think that they are working for the

"average Taxpayer" But if things keep up with Parents & kids like these it will only be a matter of time, with our adminisration, that we have a serious incident that will affect all our kids & us as parents as well. I am talking about the "shooting" that was refered to earlier in this letter. But rest assured that if anything happens to my kid at school again this administration will no longer deal with me, they will speak directly with my attorney.
