Really thin gruel here. But before deletion, since when can bus drivers mete out punishment?

That's nothing. You can get strip-searched for being accused of having Advil on your person.

If you teach kids to expect this kind of treatment now, they won't complain as much about their civil rights when they get older.

I suppose someone's got to do it, and the driver's probably the only authority figure present.

I'll bet the ranch that never more eponysterically has an OP's nickname epitomized the tone of the ensuing comments.

You know what they say about who smelt it, right?

Well, I acted up plenty on school buses in junior high, and the driver was required to file a report to the principals who were tasked with choosing the appropriate discipline. Principals are arguably more qualified to match offenses with suitable punishment criteria.
