1. Turn on radio on bus to listen to news (or music)? Several times. Students (younger students) who don't listen to news at home are on the bus ride home.

2. Hand out a flower to students as they leave bus. Not sure why. this was done a long time ago way before "Valentine's day" week. One time thing.


My kid's did not, which is too bad. They both sound like good things for the children to experience.



A rose?


Are you expecting the drivers to purchase roses for up to 60 kids (which is the max # to be seated on the busses)?

Our bus drivers used to hand out halloween. One did it regularly (and invited the little siblings to come up the stairs to get a piece). Another did it mostly on halloween/v-day.


Exactly to your first paragraph.

If you were there when bus driver was handing out at the bus stop, that's one thing not sure why a rose would be given on a random day

How is a rose a bad thing?


Did anyone say it was a bad thing?

Waiting room news? Those are terrible. Local news is sometimes worse. Being close to DC, often political and federal news will also make local news.

As someone said up thread, it could be a station that has news every 30 min but plays music the rest of the time. Students have said they heard news on bus the week of new president of US's inauguration but not other times.

Also, news is good for your kid. And flowers are nice.

What the heck is your problem?


Ok, moderrator, no one said there's a problem. Some of you need to go back to Really Great Reading and learn to again.
