Bill307 using fear, violence and other crap is not as educational as you might think. They are children and not adults for a reason.
Getting them out of the bus for refusing to put on a seatbetlt is a perfectably accepted punishemnt. Also sending the videotape to their school to be reviewd by their parents.
Kids get off the bus: 1)he goes home makes up some shit about the school bus driver hating him, parent investigates sees videotape 2)he walks to school. lesson learned after walking it 9999 times.

oh and "fear of the consequences" prevents you from educating all these spoiled brats because of the "pussy laws"?

Some year ago, a schoolbus driver who had sexually abused children in Finland was caught . The children were 7-13 year olds and this had been going on for many years.

TvP: Are you saying that because it's what the law says? Are you saying that because you think it will, if applied consistently, lead to a better world? Or are you saying that because you think it would have led to the best outcome in this particular situation?

He GRABBED THE KIDS THROAT. OK?
If he did that I would fucking murder him. Now, I didn't hear what they said (it's late, can't turn the volume up very high -_-) but to me the busdriver was acting pretty threatening, and the guy who got up was the kid who was being threatened's brother. Wtf.
He didn't even do shit, except probably told him to get away from him or something -_-
Look, I fucking hate retarded kids and they probably deserve to get beat up.. But to grab some kid by the throat? Excuse me? What the fuck is that?
He should be fucking fired.
Btw, I don't know what kind of spanking you people seem to be in favour of, but unless it's hard enough to make you afraid - which is B A D - I can't see ANY reason that would have helped calm me down as a little kid, I'd probably have stopped for 30 seconds, anger taking over, go at it again.
So you going to hit me harder now? Yeah. Great idea. And what if that doesn't work? Harder still?
Shitty idea -_-

Yeah.. I err on the side of peace rather than violence in any situation. And violence begets violence so whatever.

The kid the bus driver hit first wasn't even the one causing the trouble. And you can't just hit someone because they mouth off at you. A person shouldn't have to deal with that shit - I hope he sues the kids for distress. I agree with you that he shouldn't have to deal with it, but is beating them up really the way to solve it? He'd called for an officer over the radio or something, he could have just waited for him to come. That wouldn't do anything. First of all not much could happen to the kids for swearing or what not. They are kids. Plus they would settle down for time being and learn no lesson. But they probably didn't in any case. I can't wach the video because WMP is being gay but I think that North American upbringing these days leaves much to wish for ... it's too lenient and the society is soft. There are lawsuits for touching people etc. I know in Russia if you grow up being a little shit you'll get your face broken many a time and nobody will care. One word: Androide
;p
I guess that is because he's rich though..

because it's obvious that you support the driver's actions. Bus driver drives the bus and you are the one who educates your kid after seeing the video mkay? 
Just had to quote this because it's so true!

the busdriver's fault for being a motherfucker

Hmm shit I hate when I'm wrong.
I think Radu's right. The kids should be disciplined by being forced to do something they dislike (i.e. get up early and walk to school) by higher authorities. Why not violence instead? Because the kids are also going to learn how to "discipline", or more appropriately, how to deal with people who piss them off. The more we use violence to discipline them, the more they will use it against others. The same goes for appealing to a higher authority, except I think we can all say we'd have fewer problems with the kids doing that instead of using violence.
So, as much as we loved seeing those kids getting what for (my only regret at the time was that he didn't kick the kid's ass), the bus driver probably should have waited for the deputy (sedating himself with the thought of the kids having to behave or else walk to school from now on) and had him escort the little brats out of the bus.
What if the parents, school, and police fail, like some undoubtedly do, and don't take enough action against the kids? What if the parents simply drove the kids to school from that point on, never teaching them a lesson? What if the bus driver has had to put up with their crap for a long time? What can he do? Maybe a little bit of violence was the answer, if only to draw attention to the situation and force the parents and the school to deal with it. I really don't know: I'd have to think about this some more.

I'm not clear on the American laws that are relevant in this situation. In Denmark the laws somewhat resemble my opinion of this matter. In other cases, not.
As you may know, there is close to no crime in Denmark - about ½-1 homocides a year. The laws in Denmark prevents you from abusing your physical power upon a child, but on the other hand, nothing really happens if you do. Unless, its an extreme case of violence. You won't get sued out of your ass. We have alot of "you are not allowed to do X" laws, but there is no penalty for actually breaking it. Our society, relies heavily on pragmatism. While this may seem highly controversial, you can't argue with the low crime rate, that is a result of it.
There are a couple of reasons it works out better here, though. For example, the high welfare, free: insurance, medical help, education, right to vote. Voting is considered a citizens duty, and people who don't vote are "frowned" upon(it is very easy to vote, you get a voting ticket in the mail and you use it at the local voting booth). Everyone has a chance in the society, even if you are a pedophilic alcoholic, there is a program you can attend(for free).
There is a cultural difference, but in the end we all just want to be respected. It is the kids right to express their opinion towards the bus driver, as long as they don't interfere with his driving, as it is the bus driver's right to express his opinion towards them.
You can do what you want, as long as you don't take that freedom away from others. When the kids calls the bus driver a "fucker", and he gets mad, its his own problem.

FA. Its a different culture.. In Sweden or Finland the bus driver would have gotten fired instantly. His actions were mild in american scale but as a Finn all I could think was 'HE GRABBED HIS THROAT! HE FUCKING GRABBED THAT KIDS THROAT' But after reading some of the comments here and thinking about kids carrying knives/fire arms in schools in u.s and the, sometimes, ridiculous seeming safety precautions I think what he did wasnt that harsh. In Finland, School shootings/stabbings happen ... once in 20 years? Iam happy to think that here teachers dont have to fear kids carrying weapons and in the meantime I can see just in the busdrivers actions..

LetMeBeWith we can all agree that you are a fat kid who actually benefits from not getting into that bus because: 1)You will get some exercise 2)You will learn to behave in the end and then get to ride the bus and maybe make a friend!

How oxymoronic. You should have considered not taking the bus, in the first place. I normally disregard babble like yours, but it was slightly funny, and could have been the foundation of a good joke.

And I know a guy who would take a lot longer to get to school without a bus.
So what's your point?
