Just a thought, don't they have teachers or other employees of the school who supervise the students outside as they get on the busses or into cars? And a second thought, what ever happened to crossing guards?

I am an 8th grade student there and i was in the bus in front of it so i saw the whole thing its not really a suprise i guess i knew something was ganna happen sooner or later and i guess it came sooner than later so these parents need to watch where there driving and the kids also need to be more carefull this whole thing would of been avoided if A: she looked out befor she ran and B: the driver was paying more atention how do you not see a kid well thanks for listening its a lesson we can all learn from so be carefull the next time

Cmon, this is no surprise. The parents driving their kids are totally irresponsible. Parents drive their kids and drop them off so they have to cross the street in front of other cars and busses, rather than taking an extra minute to swing around. Parents speed on 8th st. to get to work. It was getting so bad, busses picking up kids on 8th st. had to switch the side they pick up kids, because so many parents were blowing by the red, blinking stop sign put out by the bus. I wish the police would monitor this road in the morning, it is a disaster.

Brian S: Try visiting the PODS; the rooms are just fine inside. And go visit a ghetto to see how off-base your comparison is. Education is happening there because the teachers are committed and hard working, and enough of the students are willing to give it a "go."

Woodland Middle School was a zoo when my daughter went there 2 years ago...I can't imagine what it is like with the number of students being dismissed at the end of the day now? BTW the "PODS" of shack classrooms are Getto looking...what the heck.
