I get to our middle school (we have 5 campuses) and pick up my kids. As I'm pulling out, one girl came up and said she had to get off. I told her I'd already left the school so she could not get off. She went back to her seat. Then she came back up and said her father was following the bus and that she needed to get off. I told her to tell him to call the bus barn and inform the secretary who would then relay the message to me and instruct me as to where to leave the child. Safety first -- especially because I didn't know what her dad looked like. It could have been an older boyfriend, uncle, etc. On my way to the next school, my secretary starts calling another bus trying to find a child. I barely listen since it didn't involve me. As I was leaving that school, a man was trying to flag me down. Uh, I don't think I'm going to stop for a stranger who is flagging me down when I have a bus full of children. I continue on. Finally the secretary gets an address of the child and figures out that it is the child on my bus and calls me. I told her yes the child was on my bus.
She informed me that the principal of the girls school had given the wrong bus number to the parents and thats where the confusion had come from. She then said to let the child off at my final school. I did as I was told. The father was infuriated by this time so he came up and said "If this happens again you'll have to answer to me!" I was dumbfounded! Here I was protecting his child from the unknown and he's threatening me! I thought I was going to have to call the cops on him. My kids, however, loved the excitement and thought it was funny that I got yelled at. They even asked me if I was scared because of what the man said. I told them that no I wasn't afraid because I had the law on my side. That quietened them. lol
Ugh! Some people just don't have a clue and get upset if they have to go out of the way to raise their children.
