Oh, they can kick you off the bus here in TN...When we had Buzz living here he got kicked off a few times...after a certain amount of times that's it for the year! Now, to say this fazed Buzz is to lead you astray...He was happy as a clam for us to drive him the 5 miles to school and then pick him up later..."Hey, lets go this way Granny...My bus don't go this way ! " etc. Apparently he would stand up in the seat, lay down with his head hanging off in the floor, lean over the back of his seat, lean over the seat in front of him..Etc. He was a very busy boy! I put in for the special bus to come get him and finally they set it up before anything dire happened....No problem...getting put in a car seat type deal with straps didn't faze him..I just told him it was special bus because he was a special boy and needed a seat belt like Grannies car had. AND it came right to the door so Papa didn't have to walk/drive him up to the corner, 1/4 mile away. Where he lives now, they don't have special buses, but just put a kids car seat in there for him and Sissie strapped him in every day. Cool...Clever of them . Well this year , he decided he could be a good boy and not ride in the car seat..Apparently not for too long !*grin*....I think Mommie dearest is going to start strapping him in again...Sissie won't do it for some reason known only to her. His school is quite a distance from home, so they don't want to drive him.... I used to watch his sibs sleep when they were here and Mommy was God knows where , and pray that they would grow..grow...grow...so they could at least fix themselves a snack, and call me if necessary..Well, those suckers grew, and grew and grew !And now they can call me on their cell phones and both can cook a little...Now if Buzz will only get big enough to get by.....I'm in the process of doing what I can to get him some relief ....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Sat, 16 Oct 2010 22:38:02 -0700 "Jen LaBonte" <AZJen@npgcable.com> writes: > Jeannie T., Can they kick him off the bus? If he is signed up to ride the bus from his home to a school, I would think they would have to keep him on there unless they had a good enough reason to kick him off. . If Buzz cannot ride the bus to school then how will he get there? I understand...he's lonely & just needs to talk to someone. Good luck with Buzz!! I'm so sorry to hear he has gotten himself painted into a corner & will have a hard time getting out of that corner.> ~J ____________________________________________________________ Go Back to School Grant Funding May Be Available to Those Who Qualify http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4cba9321a067631c99m06duc
