This would be just as humiliating for someone in the UK, Phantom. Rather insensitive and stupid of the female driver. Perhaps we could have the driver do the same and have all the kids laugh at her. Kids around this age are quite sensitive as to how they are perceived by others and friendships can just fall apart from silly incidents like this. Likely it would soon be forgotten when the next kid is picked on. She should have gone to school with a water-pistol and 'pissed' on all those who laughed at her. I think we had a case in the UK where a kid was kicked off a bus for not having sufficient money and was raped. Bus-driving, ah the power!
