I don't think the incidents are equal and therefore should not have required equal punishment. On one hand you have a bus driver who is fully responsible for the child being let off at the wrong location. On the other hand you have an act of violence perpetrated by one of the students on the bus while the driver is driving. I just don't see the equality in the two situations.

I am glad that my situation allows my husband and me to provide transportation to and from school for my children.
