This week California has been the place for 'no good deed goes unpunished'

First there was the librarian who turned in the patron looking at kiddie porn. Now, this:

Student disciplined after stopping out-of-control school bus

A high school student on a bus carrying 40 elementary students managed to jump up and apply the brakes when the driver fell out of her seat and hit her head, possibly saving lives.

But she wasn't supposed to be on the bus. She'd fallen ill on the way to school and asked the bus driver for a ride rather than calling in. So, she's got a Saturday detention as a result.

I'm not saying she shouldn't get the detention--she should, since she broke the rules. But maybe a little appreciation in addition shouldn't be out of the question, you know?
