Then again, the bus driver is a real person and is responsible for keeping the bus clean. 

Ten lines ain't shit.  It's not like it's multiple pages, front and back (been there). 

You are within your rights as a parent.  I'm sure, though, that your child will have animosity towards the driver now that he has been reprimanded by him/her. 

How old is the child?

My son would never lie to me. He is the really sweet, always trying to please mom and dad type of kid. He came home and told me the whole story even tho it didn't make him look completely innocent. I called the school and I found out that the drivers go on a power trip sometimes over trivial things. I also found out that they have 0 authority to hand out any type of punishment. My son apologized and we had a talk about respecting the rules and the bus driver. I told him to hand her the note and say he was sorry for being disruptive. I know he probably used those exact words, the boy uses bigger words than I do and talks respectively all the time. I really couldn't ask for a better son honestly.

Raising my boys is my number one priority in life, I guess you could say they will be the best they can be because we raise them to know their worth and to stand up for the things they believe in. I told him that writing is NOT a punishment, and that if anyone ever tries to make him write as a form of punishment then he needs to call me immediately. At his age EVERYTHING that goes on around him and to him is very impressionable, and I don't want him hating something as awesome as reading or writing. He is 8 years old and reads harry potter and lord of the rings books. He makes his own stories and draws out battles from his stories all the time. I want to encourage his writing not make it a form of punishment.

Thank you guys for giving me resolve to stand up for what I thought was right. You guys are awesome.

(I didn't want to post in the pub because I thought a lot of Shroomerites without kids wouldn't understand how important this is and just call me dumb for it.)

Once again, I you guys, Kada! You are great parents. I'd rate you 5 - if I hadn't already done so!

Yours,

Ahh parents. I've one on the way and relish becoming another know it all blinkered asshole who cant see beyond his own kids.

And that's not a jab at you OP, everybody who has kids goes from being normal to a complete fucking asshole.

In my day we had to write a thousand lines and we had to be ingenious to get them done. Personally I always used the writing words down the page trick, so you write a page of I's then of will's and then nots and so on. I never liked the the 2 or 3 pens taped together method. Kids who used carbon paper always got caught.

10 fucking lines and you're picking a fight over it? dude, it doesn't matter how right you are, and you are right, but you're also an asshole.

The bus driver deals with asshole kids and asshole parents every day. Hes had dicks make this protest a thousand times for fucks sake.
