make an appointment to see what was said and how it can be corrected.

Why are you sure it needs to be corrected? Maybe they actually were disgusting punks. If so, why would it be wrong to identify them as such?

My daughter's friend came home with her today, and told us that on her bus to BOCES (for her Tech-Career program) there was an issue with a group of students and the Principal was called to assist so the bus could leave the school.
The Principal ended up taking 2 students off the bus, but not before stating to the entire bus "you are disgusting punks". What a great way to be a roll model for staff,students and community. She would have some explaining to do if I was a parent, and it wouldn't be over the phone.

Does Romulus School have any plans for trauma counselors to be on site. I'm almost sure these poor little kids have never in their life's heard such talk by an adult!

yea just make a joke of it...she is the administrator so she must be right....by the way the vice principal deals with discipline without acting like a lunatic ..so its not a problem with actions being taken it is a problem with the way she talks to the students,parents,Oh and by the way.....teachers too

Is it me or do people need to develop a thicker skin?

I cant imagine what the emotional blowback would have been if a tounge was stuck out or God forbid cooties were mentioned on the bus.

...this could affect their behavior as they grow it to adults.

Is it too much to ask for an administrator to act as a professional and speak to others ( students,parents and faculty)with the respect she expects from others ...

What would the principal do if a student bad-mouthed a teacher?

In my world CHILDREN are taught to respect adults. Period, end of story. Since when did the adults have to "earn it"??
This whole forum is cracking me up today.
Did I miss the memo for "National Stupid Logic Day" or something?
I'm going back to the "Only in Seneca County" thread now, that's almost even dumber than this one.

Littleperson, yes, you can ask that the principal be professional at all times, but you must EXPECT that the principal is human (just like you and I). Glad I never make a mistake.

Ignorant parents make ignorant kids. That this incident is being discussed seriously is proof of the latter. My somewhat educated guess is that the kids on the bus were behaving like punks while exhibiting disgusting pig-like traits.

Blah blah blah blah! Whine whine whine! Blah Blah Whine Whine! Boo-Hoo sniff-sniff whaaaaaaaa!

I agree with you 100%! This principal is a controlling, degrading bully! She is disrepectful to her staff and students. Everything you are saying is how it is. So much for "tenure". RCS is stuck with the self serving tyrant!

My daughter's friend came home with her today

The child's parents should attend the next BOE meeting, with their lawyer.

this will be my last post on this subject so feel free to have the last word....first of all I did not come to this forum for a solution but to voice my opinion on the importance of professionals acting professionally..second I am not attacking anyone in secret,I have made the principal,the superintendent and the board aware of my dissatisfaction with the principal's behavior.... she got a slap on the wrist and it continues(she has tenure)... so you see,things are not as you have ignorantly concluded....one last thing ...when you don't know what you're talking about the easiest thing to do is to insult ..I on the other hand have not insulted anyone I have just told the truth...like I said before ..YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH LOL

There is more to the story as I was told by my child

to voice my opinion on the importance of professionals acting professionally

My guess is these "poor little kids" could use a boot in the backside.

Like I said before, there is more to this.
She was upset with a some of kids, but to refer to all the BOCES children was wrong.
I will repeat this... My child told me more of what happened, why She was like that, I still don't like what was said to all. It should have been said to the kids that were in trouble.

As for teedoff----I do know what happened to cause the reaction. My Kids will tell Me things, They know it's better for them to tell me before I hear it. I Look at both sides, still going to school though, I can't get though on phone.

WELL I AM ONE OF THE STUDENTS THAT WAS KICKED OFF THE BUS AND THE PRINCIPLE MRS. LYNN RHONE IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD REALLY BE INVESTIGATED. SHE GOT RIGHT IN MY FACE AND TOLD ME THAT I WAS A LITTLE SNOT, AND THAN SAID THAT SHE WAS ALLOWED TO CALL ME NAMES. ONE TEACHERS CANT DO THAT, TWO THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTE THAN TO CALL STUDENTS NAMES BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING. AND YES STUDENTS LIE BUT I AM NOT THERE ARE PLENTY OF WITNESSES AND MY BROTHER WHO DEFENDED ME AND GOT KICKED OFF AFTER ME. MY MOM HAS COME IN AND FLIPPED OUT ON THE PRINCIPLE AND VICE PRINCIPLE AND NOW I DO NOT HAVE TO SPEAK TO EITHER OF THEM I GO STRAIGHT TO THE SUPER INTENDENT. SO IF ANYONE THINKS I AM LIEING YOU CAN SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY AND I WILL DEFFINATLY LET YOU KNOW WHAT WENT DOWN AND WHY THIS WOMAN SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND MAYBE EVEN BE EXPELLED HERSELF. SHE EVEN HAD AN ATTITDE TOWARDS ME AND MY MOTHER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO POST.

Ugh...this whole thread made my head hurt. All I can say is I wasn't impressed with the Principle when my daughter went to school there. She was rude. However I know nothing about this story and don't really care to after reading this whole thread. I remember the bus driver....a male...calling my daughter and her friends bimbo's once.....I went right to the school and confronted him directly. Trust me......he never uttered another word to her. I don't recall ever having to complain about anything else. I was more upset about the Guidance Counselor giving us the worst advice ever about college though!

SHE EVEN HAD AN ATTITDE TOWARDS ME AND MY MOTHER.

Also, if you can't handle the truth, don't ever join the military - you won't make it a day. You think it's bad having a Principal call you names. You haven't seen anything until you're in the service. Heck, even in the workplace bosses can sometimes be hard on their employees.

GET OVER IT!!!

WHAAAAAA WHINE CRY MOAN WHAAAAAAA BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH WHAAAA CRY GROAN WHAAAA BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH WHAAAAAAA CHANGE MY DIAPER WHAAAAAA CRY MOAN GRIPE WHAAAAAAAA WHAAAA WHINE WHINE GROAN CRY WHAAAAAAA

Don't you mean: She even had an ATTITUDE towards MY mother and I.

With all the problems in society and schools today I would be highly irratated too, if you and your mother had come to my office about something as frivilous as this!

As one of the many students on the bus that day I can tell you what happened. It all started when Students confronted a group of kids about something that these students had nothing to do with. These students where upset and Rotz talked to them. Rotz talked to the other students and when the other students got onto the bus and went to go to their normal seats a student got into their faces and started to tell them if they had something to say say it to their face in a threatening manor. The other student told this person to go sit down and everyone else on the bus began to curse at these students and the students defended themselves. There was fighting cussing and yelling going back and forth between both parties. Rotz was called when the bus driver told us to be quiet and nobody did. Rhone came out and began to talk to all of us and ask what the problem is. We explained and there was fighting between students in the back and Rhone. Rhone told them that these students did not have anything to do with the problem at hand they were confronted for and they shouldn't blame people. The students began to talk back and Rhone kicked them off the bus. When the first student refused to hand her phone over to Rhone She called her a little snot. Then the next student was kicked off for laughing and being disrespectful towards Rhone. Rhone then predeceased to call the back of the bus "Punks" I don't recall exactly what was said and left the bus. This is how the whole thing went down.
