I was kicked off the school-bus in middle school permanently for talking back to the bus driver (for a span of months) who was a complete bitch. But, I do remember her playing my cassette tapes of The Doors, etc., early on. I can't remember why we'd constantly argue back and forth.
The next day, my entire street (nine guys) walked all the way home with me. As it started to bring attention, a few days later, the Vice-Principal demanded everyone else bringing a note from home, giving permission. Everyone did, and then being flustered, the VP gave us ALL a ride in his Starcraft Van.... He actually once gave me a pass after I beat the hell out of one of those kids after getting off the bus just months earlier because my friend said he deserved those punches to the face. Later that day when his wife saw me enter her Family Living class, she asked why I was there, and all that, and I said "I had no reason to be punished", and a short while later, I heard my name being called. He said, "You were punished" (but I wasn't - not even after-school detention), and just let me go. Back then, anything resembling a fight was automatic suspension.

Something similar happened to my brother once, but he was totally innocent. Some other boy was dumb enough to throw a rock inside a bus. The driver then proclaimed that he would never take him nor my brother (whom he saw as guilty by association somehow) as a passenger again. After that, my brother was forced to get onto a different bus, which stopped a freaking two miles from where we lived, so he would still have to walk a third of the long way home, if he saw that this particular driver was on school bus duty.
