The teachers are still the same (mostly worthless). Why cut programs? Why spend all of that money on a new building? The building is not what fosters learning, it's the teachers, the programs.

I have never understood his support for her through this. He lost his son, for crying out loud! And he's supporting/standing by the person who did that to him. I've yet to wrap my brain around this...

Prayers for John, his family and friends that are missing him and looking for him.

I personally know someone who went on this trip. It was a dream come true for him as he could not have otherwise afforded to go. So also, thank you, to those who are making these trips possible.

When I first learned that this had happened I cried. Yes, NomerBull, (in my opinion) someone would HAVE to be insane to do something like this to another person, much less a child. But being insane shouldnt get her "off".

She is so lucky. How scary. Maybe this will be a wake up call for everyone, myself included; (phone or no phone) we all need to pay attention to what we are doing and to others.

Nonetheless, my thoughts and prayers are with the families of those involved. Especially the children.

However, I did not realize the extent of his actions until I read the "related content" links above. Did he really think he could keep up the antics and not get caught? In his photo above he looks mad and I cant help but think he has no one to be mad at but himself.

Way to go Dominic! So happy to see a "good" news story. And a story about people looking out for other people.

Officials say driver may have had a medical condition. No one else on board bus, the bus was on the way to pick up kids from a camp."
