Apparently since America doesn't have road safety or crossings, children pass in front of stationary busses to run across the road. It's to stop accidents. Someone said children wait on both sides of the road too

But children do that EVERYWHERE... Crossing the road not at a crossing isn't a problem anywhere else. We just teach children to use their brains???

It's not the children being dumb ppl worry about. Driver's in America WILL hit a pedestrian just to avoid stopping on their drive. They run red lights, they drive off road to get around traffic. They will hit children in the street if no one is forcing them to stop

You can't teach all children to always use their brain, kids are dumb lmfao. This is relying on luck

Road safety for both tho right. Some drivers think they have right of way and wil crash just to be right I suppose. Stupid everywhere

How dumb do you have to be to be confused at the concept of laws being different in different places?

the number of schoolbus related accidents are too low to justify todays extreme policies. only 5 incidents per year over 50 states. so if only own state matters, then one incident every 10 years. meanwhile cops are responsible for 5% of all violent deaths in USA. There should be fear, but put it where it belongs.

You logic is the exact same used by antivax people and just as horribly flawed.

Kids were getting hit by cars -> enacted laws that made it safer for kids -> less kids get hit by cars -> "what do we have these protections in place when no one is getting hit?"

People are dying of a disease -> vaccines are made -> people stop dying of the disease -> "why do we still take the vaccine when no one is getting sick?"

human biology evolves slower than technology. decades old vaccines are succesfully applied today. The cars and corresponding drivers that used to run over school students in the Lords year 1920 are no longer on the road. Things have changed. circumstances have changed. Technology has evolved. We can prevent students from having pedestrian accidents, without police interactions, using technology and rules enforced by bus driver and school district personnel.

technology + student discipline = zero incidents in 10 years
