Stop. For. School. Buses.
Bus drivers are trained to protect kids, and one’s quick thinking recently averted a tragedy in Brattleboro. If you don’t see flashing lights and stop signs on school buses, there is something wrong: You are driving distracted.
I am thankful we have the school bus drivers we have. Every day they get up in the morning and come to work, always smiling, for the most part. (I mean, it's early-morning hours, and not everyone has had their coffee yet, right?)
However, they go out to their buses and - kind of like Santa Claus at Christmas - they have a list and they check it twice to make sure the buses are in working order.
