Bus Drivers Learning Español

school%20bus.jpgBus drivers in Clayton County, Georgia are taking advantage of the Spanish classes that are being provided by the department. Bus drivers in that county have often felt disconnected from parents and students that don’t speak English or are just beginning to learn it.

Outside of the basic phrases like “hola” and “buenas tardes”, other safety terminology is also being taught. For example, “no corran” for “don’t run” and “caminen” for “walk” are some of the important phrases for the bus drivers.

The fact that employees of Clayton County are being so proactive in learning Spanish is great, but it shouldn’t mean that the Latino kids and parents, especially parents, of that area become complacent and not attempt to learn English themselves.
