One of the few? I can think of more counties like it than not. Livingston is mild compared to some of them.

Chris Paul. I'll take the paycheck.

I do. An actual book though.

The wow was more towards the national disgrace. Even saying the NBA guys are all about exposure is a stretch. These guys don't need exposure, they could easily enjoy their summer off and live the high life. I'm the last person to defend NBA players, I never watch, only college ball for me. But the olympics are about the best athletes in the world, so why shouldn't they play? They look like they're actually enjoying it too, unlike the selfish punks from 2004. Do you really think China would keep it amateur?

Wow....just wow.

Yeah, but they can be a bit rough on the balls.

The US couldn't make the top 10, 50, etc.....we send more people home in qualifying that could beat alot of these athletes from the smaller countries.

Mr. Bean plays the keyboard.

Should have just done a 2 hour ode to beer.

Thats the same thing I'm doing. The picture quality is fine, it just looks like the smooth motion or whatever its called is enabled that adds the extra frames making it look like a home movie.

Speaking of hbo go, does anyone else find the quality crappy? Everything looks live action to me.

This is such non sense.

Really? That just moved up to #3 for me.

You hit the curb with your wifes car? Was it opposite day?

Hey, I've been on vacation! But you're all a bunch of sentimental women.

I lean right, and I thought it was awesome too. This show seems to be calling everyone out, at least so far anyway. Hope it stays that way and doesn't turn into a left sucks or right sucks type of show. We both suck.

Go put up a sign that says "public parking: $20 per day" and a bill under his wiper.

You've ridden a bus, wow. I'm glad that makes you an expert on school policy. You know, even more so than someone who's wife has worked in said school district. Looks like I have no choice but to take my ball and go home defeated, the internet scholars have beat me.

Wrong. Her job is to keep the kids safe and allow the driver to focus on the road. The kids weren't doing anything to harm each other or distract the driver. She has zero authority to punish anyone. The only action that can be taken while on the bus is to have the kids change seats or require they sit down if standing. If they refuse the drivers only option is to pull over and have the kid removed from the bus.

According to the local news the day the main video was shot, there is video of her saying that. The bus driver is responsible for what happens on that bus, and at least in all 4 districts my wife has worked for ( including Greece) the monitors report to the driver and the driver deals with any incidents with the head of the garage who reports to the various principals and vice pricipals. The driver is not the monitors boss, but that's the way the info flows. Karen was a driver for many years so she knows how it works. If she didn't see action being taken in a reasonable amount of time I agree she should have done more, but that hardly makes her an enabler. She's been there long enough to know how long it takes for the district to take any action, which can be slow at best. For all she knew the process was in motion. Same type of thing with teachers aides. They report what happens in the class to the teacher even though the teacher isn't the boss. My wifes current aide was the subject of a hostile environment with her previous teacher, took the district 2 months to take it seriously and move her after she went all the way to the top.

I think you forgot to log in under crayonz.

She reported it to the bus driver which was her chain of command. It was then up to him/her to do something about it and Karen needed to give time for that to happen. I don't know about your world, but at my job if I skip over my manager and complain to the director I'll be ripped a new one. So how did she not do the right thing? It's not like this had gone on for months, or even weeks where she would have had the chance to escalate it if the driver took no action.

Taunts yea, but mention of her family killing themselves when her son already did that could break even the strongest soul.

Lost her **** then lost her job? This lady apparently needed her job so she did what she needed to keep it. A bus monitors job is to keep the kids safe, not lose her temper because they are picking on her. She told the bus driver what happened and he/she should have dealt with it through the proper channels, that didn't happen. This lady isn't cashing in through her own doing, so some of the vitrol makes no sense. I'll agree it's getting out of hand but we don't know if she'll turn around and dontate the majority to a worthy cause yet, lets give her the benefit of the doubt until she has that chance. Its amazing how people can openly criticize a kind gesture by thousands just because it doesn't meet their definition of a good cause. People can spend their money how they choose, and if their choice means sending $10 this ladies way (no matter how empty an actual gesture it is) then who really gives a crap. This thread is starting to turn into the same type of judgemental crap that brought this on in the first place.

Unfortunetly she'll now have to deal with the same scum that comes out of the woodwork when you win the lotto. Hope she gets in touch with a lawyer.
