Student Stops Out-of-Control School Bus; Gets Detention for Skipping Class
A 15-year-old girl who stopped an out-of-control school bus she was riding on was handed a Saturday detention instead because she was skipping school.
Marina High School student Amanda Rouse was on a bus with 40 elementary school students Wednesday morning when the driver fell out of her seat after a turn and hit her head.
Rouse jumped up and applied the brakes, bringing the bus to a halt after striking two parked cars. No one was injured.
But Rouse said she was punished because she wasn't supposed to be on the bus.
Rouse said she fell ill on the way to school, but instead of calling in sick, she asked the bus driver for a lift back to the bus yard before the accident happened. She must attend Saturday school as punishment for failing to call in sick that day.
"She is in trouble with school because she made the wrong decision," said Rouse's grandmother, Sally Correll. "But I can't help but believe that she was where God wanted her to be."

Why do the opinions of the kids themselves NEVER GET ASKED? I know! I know! Pick me! Because they think we're idiots until we turn 18! DING DING DING DING DING
and you are correct!!!!!!! all kids ARE supposed to be idiots until there 18(not!)
I wonder what would happen if she called in sick instead of going on the bus....think about it, you dumbass school.
and you are correct!!!!!
this. is. insane.
guess what yall? i missed abotu 60% of my eighth grade year by simply refusing to go to school
and i'm doing just FINE, THANKS.
the dude who gave her a detention is probably such a lowlife...
and they wonder why we hate school...
Thats just messed up
what the fucking hell...
she problley saved some peopels lives. and they siad she was skiping!
I just have nothing else to say thats so out raging
I can't say I'm all that surprised.
its the teachers who need to go to school! (again) if she had called in sick she wouldnt have been on the bus! the ELEMETERY kids wouldnt know what to do and they would have died along with some others! but she didnt call in sick and was on the bus! so she saved like...50 lives! school is my arch enemy...and this is one of the 10000000000000000 reasons why!!
she saves everyone on teh bus and they give her detention???
so if i save someone from, say, a burning gym just before 3rd period or something and they give detention to me thats cheap
