That wouldn't surprise since this FCPS can't get half the buses started under 32 degrees in the winter times.

And the bus drivers need to be bilingual. Of course the white kids will sit on the floor while the illegals get priority seating, right?

Let's see how horrible these conditions suddenly become when there's a minor accident. It only takes one minor accident and the shitstorm will be intense.
I drive my kids to their school because, let's face it, buses are for the commoners.

Three to a seat is normal.
Kids whose parents drive them end becoming losers. Kids need to learn in different environments. Don't be a smoother.

No, the bus for schools used to be good, when Pedro Gonzales gets injured and an illegal woman sues FFX and wins because her ILLEGAL child gets hurt It's another story.
It will happen.

I wrote the transportation asst. super and she replied that 'they would check the tapes' to see if kids were in the isles - my son has a photographic memory and I talked to a parent of another kid on the same bus and he had witnessed the same thing - kids sitting on the isle of the bus in transit due to overcrowding. My son mentioned some seats had 3 kids. Its a HS/MS bus so the standard is 2 per seat.
I should also mention our kids were drenched in sweat because they made the kids wait in the buses up to 20 min in the 95F heat yesterday with the AC OFF. I asked about this and transportation told me code said they could only idle 3 min. due to air quality code.

you must mean your kid has an eidetic memory..
The Truth About Photographic Memory
It's impossible to recover images with perfect accuracy. The myth of photographic memory.
By William Lee Adams, published on March 01, 2006 - last reviewed on August 07, 2008
59-year-old Akira Haraguchi recited from memory the first 83,431 decimal places of pi, earning a spot in the Guinness World Records.
He must have a photographic memory, right? Not so. According to mounting evidence, it's impossible to recall images with near perfect accuracy.
Certainly, some people do have phenomenal memories. Chess masters can best multiple opponents while blindfolded. Super card sharks can memorize the order of a shuffled deck of cards in less than a minute. But people with Herculean memories tend to be adept at one specific task—i.e., a person who memorizes cards may be inept at recognizing faces.
Alan Searleman, a professor of psychology at St. Lawrence University in New York, says eidetic imagery comes closest to being photographic. When shown an unfamiliar image for 30 seconds, so-called "eidetikers" can vividly describe the image—for example, how many petals are on a flower in a garden scene. They report "seeing" the image, and their eyes appear to scan across the image as they describe it. Still, their reports sometimes contain errors, and their accuracy fades after just a few minutes. Says Searleman, "If they were truly 'photographic' in nature, you wouldn't expect any errors at all."
While people can improve their recall through tricks and practice, eidetikers are born, not made, says Searleman. The ability isn't linked to other traits, such as high intelligence. Children are more likely to possess eidetic memory than adults, though they begin losing the ability after age six as they learn to process information more abstractly.
Although psychologists don't know why children lose the ability, the loss of this skill may be functional: Were humans to remember every single image, it would be difficult to make it through the day.
So you are a liar. What else have you lied about?

the Cars are overcrowding The Robinson Secondary School Roads and Parking lots and 2 car accidents have happend on the school grounds ever since Sept. 2nd.. Which has caused buses to be late Etc. We require Students that live near to Walk so that Cars won't be a Problem and when I was getting into my car I was nearly hit by a Women with 2 Students.. And the Busses have also Overcrowded... Poelice can't do nothing bout it.. You have to take the Case to Richmond. I'm from Richmond, Danville and the Hampton roads areas and I've NEVER seen many Minorities ANYWHERE ELSE IN VIRGINIA like I've seen in FFX co.. And the population is just killing me! People from Other Parts of Virginia hate and are scared of Northern Va taking over Virginia.

In the Irish sea near the Isle of Man. And just as inhabitants of Man are called Manxmen, people from the Isle of Bus are called Bus Drivers.
Since FCPS transportation has collapsed anyway, I guess they no longer saw any harm in hiring Drivers who drive on the left.
