The Bus Driver
15 Years Experience
South, ..
Female, 37
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.
Probably not a good idea but you can joke with your driver.

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.
Share Answer: 
Yes as long as they're properly trained and pass all the requirements.

Our buses are like our homes. If you went over to your friends house and they asked you to take off your shoes and you didn't it would be disrespectful to their wishes. Some drivers set rules in much the same way.

Not on a bus. I have in my personal vehicle. It was ugly.

Rewards for positive behavior. Interaction with the riders. Showing interest in their activities. All of these are positive ways of encouraging better behavior in students. Being firm and consistent is not the same as yelling and screaming at the kids.
