Teaming Experience*? Holy Terrors on ftie School Bus By G. K. HODENFIKLD AP Education Writer Washington (AP) —Is a school bus ride a “learning experience?” Now there's a question that begs for an answer, and maybe one of the big foundations could sponsor some riafion-wide research. Until then, we’ll have to go along with about 100 school superintendents who batted the .question around at an education convention earlier this year. They agreed, emphatically, that a school bus ride is a learning ex perience. “It’s a basic extension of the school program,” they said. “It develops the democratic processes. Children learn certain arts on a school bus, like the art of conver sation.” To one bemused observer on the sidelines, the discussion didn’t seem realistic. As the educators themselves might put it, their judgments were not “based on a life experience within their peer group.” Trouble is, these folks never drove a school bus. I did, for three never-to-be forgotten weeks. Against the nightmarish back ground, here are some statements made during the discussion, and some balancing comment from one who knows: Statement — Children learn re spect for adults in their dealings with the bus driver. Comment—Like the time I flung open the bus door with a cheery “gdgd. morning, kiddies.” And caught a frozen snowball right on the kisser. Statement — The monitors are democratically chosen by the chil dren from among their peers on the bus. Comment—The democratic way to do it is for the driver to pick out the biggest bully on the bus, and threaten to make him walk home if he doesn’t keep the other little monsters quiet. Statement—The bus ride gives the children an opportunity to talk to each other, and they learn the •art of conversation. Comment — A mere babble of words, of which 49 per cent are “fabulous” and 51 per cent are "Fabian.” Statement—In some schools, the teachers develop units of training with the children, role-playing, add "$25 or more to your savings account you may obtain an additional 4-piece setting for Only $2.95— a fraction of its regular value.

Statement—Riding a school bus is a seminar in human relations. Comment—None of the kids on my bus had any human relations. Judge Continues Cose, Couple Honeymoons Tolland, Conn. (AP) — Justice Court Judge Howard Metcalf gave romance a chance in granting a postponement in a drunken driving case. ■ The accused motorist pleaded that his scheduled arraignment would interrupt his honeymoon. So the judge continued the case until the honeymoon was over. Retcfrians Cartf Pcaif Of SmulIpw^lMUHIriM Tucson, Ariz.
