INCOMPETENCY AND NEGLIGENCE

The posting I did this morning at my site is a local story. Still, the stories of two incidents with transportation here in the D.C. area, one incident with a public school bus and the other with Metrorail, are symptomatic of what's happening to diligence in our work force.

Excerpt from the first story (Washington Post):

An 11-year-old boy stayed unattended on a bus operated by D.C. public schools for about two hours Wednesday after the driver and an attendant, who delivered other children to school, failed to notice him....

Even though the boy was on the third seat and one of only four passengers on the bus! The bus was parked in a very rough neighborhood on New York Avenue NE, not in the school's parking lot.
