NO SEAT BELTS FOR CHILDREN ON SCHOOL BUSES

As parents, we worry about our children when we send them off to school for the first time. We worry if our child will be taken care of and if he's safe.

The second day of school, my son asked me a question that I didn't know the answer to: ``Why does the

bus driver have a seat belt and I don't?'' I think that was a good question. I would like to have an answer.

You can't sell cars without seat belts. Why don't our school buses have them?
