Public schooling at it's finest
One of many, MANY reasons I intend on sending my child to private school:

- A Philadelphia family is demanding that a local school bus driver be fired after the driver dropped off a 5-year-old boy in a dangerous part of town.
Michael Quinn, 5, who attends Pope John Paul II Regional School told NBC 10 that his substitute bus driver was 30 minutes early and Michael's baby sitter was not waiting for him at the stop.
Michael said that he told the bus driver that he could not get off the bus until his baby sitter arrived, but said the bus driver would not stop yelling at him until he finally got off the bus.
"I said I'm not allowed to get off the bus," said Michael. "Then she screamed her voice for me to get off the bus.
"I got off, then stood there for a minute, cried and ran," said Michael.
Michael had been left alone in front of a bar and across the street from a drug rehab center near Bridge and Eadom streets.
"I was screaming and yelling for my baby sitter," said Michael.
Michael said that he started to run home but his baby sitter spotted him, picked him up and called his mother.
"I imagined him so scared and me not being able to do anything," said Michael's mother, Kristie Biasiello. "It was horrible."
Biasiello said that she called a transportation representative at the Philadelphia School District and the man was "belligerent" to her.
Biasiello wants the substitute bus driver fired and an apology from the school district.
"I don't know who in their right mind would put a little boy in the busy street, in front of a bar and drug treatment center alone and not think twice," said Biasiello.
