I have been a bus driver since late 2006. I know the inside story, the scoop, the down low dirt of what it takes to be a bus driver, how to handle kids and adults, and how to survive on the "streets" so to speak. I used to have a blog, feel free to browse it or ask me a question here.

why do bus drivers drive so fast?

Asked by Ronnie about 6 years ago

Its a misconception that drivers are driving fast because of the size of the bus. If a bus driver is exceeding the speed limit though please do report them.

What is the double standard of bus drivers (other adults) to kids, ageist? They can eat, drink, chew gum, cuss, yell, dance in the seat, listen to whatever music, etc while kids can’t do any of that because the bus driver (or other adult) is a adult

Asked by June Bug about 6 years ago

Generally i try to make things fair. I do not do anything that i wouldn't allow my bus kids to do.

I have noticed when I read the board minutes I’m shocked at how many people in transportation, substitutes, paras, and nutrition services they let go! Why do they let so many go what is the biggest reasons? Thanks!!!

Depends on if your district went virtual. Virtual learning means layoffs for some jobs.

Is that you driving the bus? And why are you letting the kids smile your not supposed to have fun, eat, drink, be on your phone, or do homework just sit there and shut up for a hour right

Asked by Jonna about 6 years ago

Bahahahaha! Good one. I let my kids cut up and have a good time as long as there is no bloodshed.

By the way people sitting on peoples laps and when you are on a bumpy road it is like getting a lap dance YUCKY

Asked by funny about 6 years ago

Yep.

Have you ever had a situation where someone asked you wait on their brother or sister they will be out? Then a few minutes later they don't show and you wonder. Is this person in the shower? Or even gotten up from bed? Also what takes so long?

Asked by Jon about 6 years ago

Yes and generally if I am running a bit early i will wait otherwise i expect the kids to be outside at the stop at stop time.

If Juneteenth becomes a national holiday do you think school would (summer school ofcorse as well as other school functions in the summer months, year round, schools with weird start/end dates, etc) be called off?
