Unlike most of you folks that walked ten miles to school up hill both ways, I walked less than fifty feet to get on the bus. We lived down a lane that was once a county road so the bus had to come down it.

Oh yea, by the way the fat did show up fifty years later and seems it will be around a while.

I agree with all your posts, but would ya all like the kids fourteen and up to be a drivin to school like they do around here? It concerns me alot as they don't seem to grow up as fast as we did, and understand what can go wrong. My parents are dead and gone now so they can't weigh in on this discusion.

Most of us are from the old school and live in rural areas so we do not understand the parents keeping a close eye on their children. I guess we should all read our newspapers, and listen to the news.

I'm not into sports at all, so my opinion has a dark cloud over it. That being said our school will perhaps someday just be called a sports only school. ABC's are taught by the cheeeeeerleders as they make letters with their body parts. As you all can tell my spelling isn't so good, and I went to school when it was considered some what important. Now the foreign language and sports get top ranking.

We consolidated our schools to survive, then we divided the classes in half so we keep the student / teacher ratio small. hummmmmm?

When I get tired I rant on and on, but a seat belt ticket in Iowa will get your attention. Only the very ---(fill in your own word here)-- folks say they are better off with out a seat belt. The rest of us get it. So why not at least offer a child the option of a seat belt in a school bus?

I have to tell you about my son when he was six. He decide that on very cold mornings he should be driven to school because all the other kids were. I told him that warming the cold car up just to drive him to school so he could be treated like all the other kids was out of the question because I could not aford the time or gas to do so. He understood that I wouldn't give in so he put on sad face and winter attire and walked directly across the street to the school house.
