The Wheels On the Bus Go Out of Town

School bus takes wrong students on field trip

LITTLE FERRY, N.J. — Officials say a mix-up led a school bus driver in northern New Jersey to start to take students to an amusement park instead of school.

About 30 Ridgefield Park High School students boarded the bus around 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, thinking it was the bus they ride every day. But the driver had shown up early to take seventh- and eighth-graders to Six Flags Great Adventure at 9 a.m.

The students became worried when the bus reached the New Jersey Turnpike and called their parents and the school when the driver wouldn’t stop.

The driver eventually listened to them and exited the interstate, then turned around.

School officials had called police, who stopped the bus. An officer rode aboard until it reached the school.

See, this is why kids shouldn't have cell phones. They could have had a badass day at Six Flags but instead they spent the day learning algebra and photosynthesis. If only they would have left the cell phones at home. Seriously, how bad do you think the kid who narced to his parents got beat when the rest of the kids found out they missed out on a trip to Six Flags. He'll never live that down. It's worse than shitting your pants in class. You might as well go home school kid.
