You can't blame the kids for not sticking up for her. You don't know what kids were on that bus.

Yes, you are right, you can blame the kids for the act of bullying BUT not for being the ADULT and stopping that bullying. My point is it's the adults or the system of authority that's at fault for allowing it to continue for so long.
Why didn't she know how to handle the situation being given the responsibility of Bus Monitor?

How can a situation arise like that? Was she given training in how to deal with problem kids on the bus?
