During a recent school district meeting, a local school bus driver and parent voiced concerns regarding the increasing use of inappropriate language among students at school events and in the community. The driver, who has children in elementary, middle, and high schools, expressed frustration over the erosion of civility observed during sporting events, noting that foul language has become commonplace in the stands and among students.
The driver highlighted specific instances where students used bad language, both in casual conversations and directed at opposing teams, making it difficult for families to enjoy events like volleyball games and football matches. This behavior, the driver argued, detracts from the community spirit and enjoyment of school activities.
Additionally, the driver shared insights from their role as a bus driver, where they witness similar inappropriate behavior and language among students as they transition from school to home. The driver emphasized the need for the school district to address this issue, urging officials to take action to foster a more respectful environment for students and families alike.
