I’d be curious to learn if this was a one-time occurrence or if there was a history and if anyone beyond the monitor and direct students knew that this was occurring… News articles report that the harassment was not reported, which raises some flags with regards to either employee diligence or a breakdown where employees feel disenfranchised and do not report these types of occurrences. Just seems like a HUGE string of breakdowns across the board: -Parents of the children raised little shitheads to begin with -Failure of monitor to report occurrence for whatever reason -Pattern of lack of consequence for their behavior makes the kids more bold The monitor certainly did not deserve to be treated like that, but why did behavior like that go unreported and surface as a reported surprise to the district? ---

The monitor was a previous bus driver, who due to hearing loss couldn’t drive anymore. They let her stay on so she could afford to live as a monitor, so that’s why she was doing what she was doing. ---

Props to this lady for not losing her cool. I think her maturity shows in the reasoning of why she didn’t report it. Honestly, I think this kind of stuff probably happens more than any if us think. This one just happened to be caught on tape. ---

If I were making $15k/year by making sure these little cum spittles don’t kill each other during their 15 minute bus ride I sure wouldn’t bother with the effort reporting them, especially if it involved shit like confronting the parents. Once they’re off the bus their someone else’s problem. ---

Honestly, I think this kind of stuff probably happens more than any if us think. This one just happened to be caught on tape. That’s where the breakdown is though. A continued cycle of actions without negative consequences for children only further emboldens them and not reporting these types of actions does far more damage than good. I commend her for keeping her cool during the situation, but there is a breakdown when behavior like this is allowed to perpetuate and only comes back to bite the children when they draw the attention to themselves by posting it publicly. Behavior of that nature that is even witnessed by an adult, let alone directed at an adult should have been reported and disciplinary measures should have been taken by administration. Now whether the breakdown was a result of the monitor’s decision making alone or whether some blame falls upon administration for prior decision-making that disenfranchises employees is what I am questioning. This event should not have been a surprise to administration as they indicate. ---

Why I’m not bothering to find another teaching job next year? Hmm. Kids are a lost cause. You know what we have to do when our students act up like this? We write an incident report and send them to the front office. 99% of the time they get after school detention and are back in the classroom the next day or so. What do they learn? If you act up, we make you stay 45 mins extra after school and you get to do your homework. Bullshit. ---

This is well said! In our society the lack of consequence & meaningful punishment is making it a free for all.
