BUS EVACUATION DUTY
I have survived a week at my new school, which included a lesson in BUS EVACUATION. Yes, you read that correctly. I did, indeed, spell B-U-S E-V-A-C-U-A-T-I-O-N!
Please, if you will, close your eyes and envision 60 plus 6th graders on one bus with three teachers and a frazzled bus driver. Okay, now, add into that mix, a handful of yahoos actively seeking out strategies with which to employ, ensuring that one of us will rip them a new one.
Now, stir in some humid air and a bit of 6th grade funk, and you, my dear readers, have a recipe for disaster, or at the very least, a mild case of STRESS HEADACHE.
The good news is, my students can exit a bus in under 50 seconds ... as long as we are there to make sure no one loses their mind and "acts a fool."
