What I find really unfortunate about this scenario is that they might be in the minority but they are loud and are the ones who are noticed and are frowned upon by adults, while the respectful and polite students, who are a credit to their upbringing and to their school, sit quietly and mind their own business, they go unnoticed.

Think for a lot of them on the school bus its more of a gang mentality. Once away from the gang numbers they are possibly decent kids. No one, especially teenage lads want to be or thought of as the odd man out. Had years of driving school buses or loading them at schools. Never found any difference in them from the late 60,s till i packed it up in 2003. There is no difference either in their language and general behaviour if they are from rough housing estates or areas with a couple or more new cars at their adresses.
