Lots of interesting news today

In Gaston County, in order to be a TA (teacher assistant), you are required to also be a bus driver. Seems really dumb, because most of the dainty ladies who want to be TAs, don’t have the presence to control a bus load of kids, and certainly don’t have the experience or skill set or mindset to be a bus driver.

Same for Davie. But I will argue if you cant handle a bus handling a classroom when the teacher is out for what ever isn't going to go well either.

I was in middle school when they stopped letting HS kids DRIVE school busses. But years prior, if you were 17 and had a years experience driving you could drive a school bus and kart 40 elementary school kids around 😳
My father-in-law actually DID drive a school bus at 17 in the mountains of West Jefferson

Yep, we went to school with our bus drivers! Lol My sister in law was one also.
 
Not sure about y’all but my bus driver was a burly ass chain smoking “woman” who would pull it over and whoop whole sale ass with her stick. Ms. Char Knowlton. It was a peaceful ride on her bus!

She would also whip donuts and such when the snow was on the ground to keep it fun lol.

Also: we still had manual transmission 4wd busses for those big snow days. YMMV

The Bojangles in Bethlehem doesn’t even have a screen to verify the order, it’s like you trust it’s right, but if there’s an error what do you do? Doesn’t even read back the order, just states a total and says drive around

You just tell the person at the window. I’ve had to do that almost every time I’ve been to the one in Stanley since they got the stupid AI thing. Because it screws up my order almost every time.

From reading on facespace, they crammed 6-7 children and 2 adults in a 4 seater sxs. Then were running 60 beside some rr tracks with poor visibility and managed head on another sxs. None of them in seat belts

I hope the children are ok. Based on preliminary information the parents may have not been that much of a loss. A 1 year old and 6 other kids?!?!?!?!

I hate that the people in the other SXS had to be a part of that stupidity. They will carry that the rest of their lives.
