"Unreported Miracles" helps parents keep kids safe

Dr. Cal LeMon's new book, "Unreported Miracles: What You Probably Do Not Know About Your Child's School Bus," provides school bus drivers, school staff and parents an informed look at one of America's most regulated public services -- the school bus.

Reviewed by James Kraemer, 2safeschools

Unreported Miracles In his new book, "Unreported Miracles," the author, Dr. Cal LeMon, points out that the school bus is the safest mode of transportation to and from school, 172 times safer, for example, than transporting children in the family car.

Chapter 3, "The Danger Zone," gives parents excellent information concerning the most dangerous part of the bus trip to and from school - the school bus stop. "Your child is safer inside than outside the school bus," LeMon points out.

He's right. More kids are killed at bus stops, many run over by their own bus, than die in the 55,000 school bus crashes each year in the United States. Training kids how to behave at the school bus stop is a major safety issue LeMon covers in chapter 3.

Chapter 4, on the other hand, seemed biased against seat belts on school buses. This chapter appeared to include only one-side's opinions and facts. A balanced work, giving equal consideration to both sides of the school bus seat-belt controversy, would look less biased and perhaps help encourage organizations promoting seat belts on school buses feel comfortable about promoting "Unreported Miracles."

LeMon plots the history of America's school bus up to the present and includes interesting insight on the many safety features built-in to modern school buses.

The future of the school bus is also addressed. The safest mode of transportation - the school bus - is in serious jeopardy. "Unreported Miracles" explains why and what parents can do to intervene.

"Unreported Miracles" effectively covers the most important safety device on the school bus - the bus driver. Parents especially will find this book helpful when wanting answers about, "Who is in the driver's seat?" - their qualifications and training.

Consider "Unreported Miracles," by Dr. Cal LeMon a sleeper. This book, given the time, should eventually show up in virtually every parent's home. "Unreported Miracles" is a rare piece of work, well worth reading and worth passing around. (jk)
