Worst second day of school ever! Over 20 five- and six-year-olds students from Achievement First Charter School in Brownsville were stuck on a bus for five hours when their driver "got lost but wouldn't admit it." One parent told the Daily News, "I was going crazy. I was thinking the bus was in an accident." The driver, Joseph Gray, 53, was already an hour late, arriving at 4:45 p.m., and didn't finish dropping kids off until 9:20 p.m. One parent said her "traumatized" daughter saw Gray "looking at a paper" (maybe a map?). The bus company's lawyer said, "We are trying to find out exactly what happened with this driver, because the conduct so far appears to be bizarre," adding if the Department of Education installed GPS on the bus, it could have been found sooner. So far, the DOE has just suspended Gray.
