Book Review: Exiting The Short Bus

Abstract

In the short bus (the short bus is the one that in most school districts transports those students with special-needs); it may seem like a chaotic and confusing group of people that have individual needs and no compassion for each other. However, what is occurring in this bus is no different from the activities in the big bus. To have compassion for all those in the short bus is to offer a support that is always appreciated but many times not communicated. It is sometimes difficult to express one’s endorsement of this group of students, but it elicits a positive feeling and a good atmosphere. The short bus has a culture that is unique in appearance, but it is essentially the same as that of the big bus.
