CONSEQUENCE'S

This Thursday I had the chance to teach two high school boys the consequence of their unfortunate actions......
I am the sort of person who takes offence to rude and uncalled for behaviour let me tell you more.......

I happened to be stood at a crossing waiting for the lights to change after finishing work this Thursady afternoon when a school bus past I looked up and first one boy and then his mate looked straight at me and gave me the FINGER !!!! I thought whats that about and then I decided no they are not going to get away with that and wrote down the buses Reg...Thinking I would email the schools principal (I know the principal of said school too)
I got to my car and proceeded to drive home stopping to do an errand and then continuing home, I turned into my road and just ahead I spotted a school bus and when I checked its plate low and behold it was the same bus I followed the bus up the rd and passed my house until it stopped at the bus stop I pulled in behind nipped out and banged on the bus as the driver was just about to pull away .He stopped and I got on .Only one of the boys was left on the bus and as I walked towards him I asked his name, what do want to know that for he had no idea who I was ......I calmly explained in a calm but steely voice that NO ONE GAVE ME THE FINGER AND GOT AWAY WITH IT .. the light went on lol I asked again and he told me I then told him I would be seeing him and his mate MONDAY MORNING AT SCHOOL TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCE'S of their actions and got off the bus....

I hope that next time they may think twice ....
I am in two minds as to whether I follow through with my threat or hope that I have given him something to think about this weekend but somehow I doubt that..
Was I right to take it to this length should I have shrugged it off as boys!!!!!!
No I think they need to know that its not acceptable and no one has to put up with being treated that way...and that's the consequence of behaving badly.

It would have given him a bloody big scare to see you get on the bus...

Wow - go you. I'm thinking even a phone call to the school would be in order. Bet he's worrying all weekend about getting to school on Monday. LOL

Jane you ROCK! I think alot of kids nowadays have no respect for adults - they think they can get away with anything ... and you showed them that they can't. Bet he is crapping himself now ... LOL!

scary Jane :-)

I think you should follow it up at school. They need to face the consequences and the school needs to be able to set a precedent saying this kind of behaviour is unacceptable when on school busses/in school uniform etc.

Yep, go you. I think you should go to the school this morning Jane, otherwise it was an empty threat and he'll realise that he/they can get away with it. We so need more adults with your attitude around, some kids need to develop a bit of respect. Bet their parents would be mortified to know what they were up to as well.
