[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all you angry people - I'm pretty sure the time at the bus stop is technically part of the school day for disciplinary purposes. Kids can report bullying behavior at the bus stop and the school is compelled to act.

I do agree that OP is bonkers though[/quote]

Well you're right about the OP but totally wrong about the other stuff. Not on School grounds or at a school organized event - still effectively under the "jurisdiction" of their parents, so no.[/quote]

No, you’re totally wrong PP. The school has absolute authority to discipline behaviors at a bus stop. It’s part of the school day. Waiting to take the bus that will take you to school is a “school organized event.” If we go with your line of thinking, then your kid could get beat up everyday at the bus stop and the school wouldn’t be able to do anything because it wasn’t on school grounds. 
Yeah, no. [/quote]

Actually you are completely wrong. I am a teacher and we had this issue come up when there was a bully who only interacted with another student at the bus stop - not on the bus or at the school. They were in different grades. We checked with compliance and we were told that bus stop behavior is absolutely part of the school day for discipline purposes. At first I was surprised but then I realized that we have student patrols at stops and they can issue warnings at the bus stop and teachers get involved when those warnings are issued and kids have been kicked off the bus for poor behavior at the bus stop so this is actually a parallel issue. 
Those of you saying this is not something the school would get involved in are wrong but I too was ignorant like you in the past so I don't blame you.[/quote]
