School Strip: These Students Accidentally Went On A Field Trip In A Stripper Bus

A class of high school students in Boston, Massachusetts, weren’t expecting to be transported to their field trip via a decked-out stripper bus, but it was a ride they’ll never forget.

The bus was your regular stripper bus, coming with a pole and neon LED lights. However, the class teacher was disgruntled with the education system about how this experience happened in the first place. The 11th-grade Advanced Placement Language and Composition teacher Jim Mayers from Brookie Charter High School said that the original charter bus had fallen through in a since-deleted tweet reported by Mass Live on Monday.

“It is a funny story, but there actually is a real bus shortage, and it speaks to major flaws in our education system,” he said in another tweet while confirming that the field trip was a success. Mayers’ original recently deleted tweet went viral, and many found it hilarious to see these students get from point A to B through a stripper bus. That said, he is now using the attention received from the initial tweet to shine a light on the educational inequities and other issues that the country’s schools are facing on a day-to-day basis.

“I’m worried that there is too much attention being paid to the tweet itself, or simply the fact that it went viral, instead of attending to the many systemic issues that are facing not just my students, but students all across the country,” Mayers wrote in another tweet featuring screenshots of a blurb in his notes app.

A prime example of these educational mishaps are the many school districts seeing a shortage of bus drivers and having trouble hiring more. This results in individual schools finding creative ways to shuttle kids back and forth. One of the more interesting ways was in Massachusetts as well, where schools would enlist National Guard members to drive their transportation vans.

The initial tweet Mayers sent out was meant to do nothing more than give teachers a laugh, but now that he’s got their attention, he wants to unveil the many issues with the educational system. “If it’s gotten people to talk about the overall infrastructure of our education system, and the different ways schools are prioritized, then that’s good too,” he wrote in the tweet above.

Following this, Mayers encouraged readers to attend their local school board meeting at the next chance they get to begin making changes for the future of tomorrow.
