Janet,

What a wonderful ending to an otherwise EXTREMELY stressful day for you! See, we all told you it would work out in the end

You are just too kind of a person, doing what you know in your heart to be the right thing for the protection of those put into your care on that bus. The schools across our lands need to have more caring, concerned drivers such as you! Parents put their kids on the bus each day and are literally putting the lives and welfare of their children into the bus driver's hands - you do the bus driving community proud

Your track record with the school system has spoke for itself - you did not need to defent yourself in this situation as you have already done that throughout your career! So try to put this behind you as best you can and don't let it bother you anymore than it already has.

As for that road trip - I, too, was looking forward to heading north and standing in front of you to kick some butt! We've only known each other a very short time but in that time, I've come to know a little of what's in your heart and the type of person you are - and proudly call you friend! And NO ONE messes with my friends!! So hang in there, your friends here at 4WT have definitely got your back!

Janet.. I just read this post and I am happy to hear that it has a good ending . : In the long haul you did nothing wrong , just doing your job, and that woman had no right to call you and argue, If she was a friend she would have asked you for your side and then as a good parent she would have disciplied her son approriately. You had ever right to call her a B****h she was calling you at your home, and harassing you and your husband. I hate to say this but she sounds like one of these parents whom their children do no wrong, get over it our kids are not angels and being a parent I always hope they don't do anything to hurt anyone's feelings but things happen and you have to correct them when wrong.

Oh well I was looking for the trip down to Indiana..lol glad to hear that all is well...

Oh my goodness, your post touched my heart so much I ended up with tears...I am anxiously awaiting to see if they move him to another bus, then I will know for sure, it's completely over with the woman and her son. But, hey, I'm mov'in on and so glad I have all of you to call my friends.. God Bless You!!!

I can't believe I just now saw this thread. Oh Janet, I am sorry you had to go through all this. But, it looks like it's all turning out. It's hard when people judge or question our character. However you obviously have many on your side.

Janet · 09-26-2006, 09:54 AM

You bet, if it hadn't been for everyone here I think I would have lost my mind. I cried and shook so bad over this. It really got to me and I was so afraid of losing my job. But the Assist. Princ. and Trans. Dir. are backing me up and it looks like everything is going to be just fine. Not only did her son lie to her, but she told lies and half-truths to the Asst. Princ. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I really appreciated all the support.

Well, I just read this thread, so glad this is all working out & that you have such a wonderful support group!! Hang in there, things will work out!!!

I don't think you were out of line at all. What you did was appropriate and I'm sure that girl and her parents appreciated it. That mother had no right to call you at home, period. She needed to address this through the school/your supervisor.

Hang in there and stick to your guns.

Emmsmom · 09-26-2006, 03:35 PM

wow! I am glad things worked out ok. You were not the one who was wrong here. She had no business calling you at all in my opinion. Way to go!!!
