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.

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?

I have no earthly idea to be honest.

You know what is crazy I noticed a few drivers got fired from his driving. Why do you think they where fired? Don’t they need drives why would the do something stupid like fire bus drivers?

Asked by Jannie over 5 years ago

It depends on the situation. If the driver made a comment on social media that doesn't line up with the school system's beliefs then the system has the ability to and right to separate from the individual.

In states that require school buses to have seatbelts as well as districts that have policy how do they keep them buckled in? Not to play with them? I mean you can’t even get them to sit down and shut up most the time?

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.

Also, what is the best thing to call the people who ride your bus? Kids, students, passages or something else? What do you usually call them?

Asked by Dayton over 5 years ago

Passengers, riders, students.

why do bus drivers drive so fast?

Asked by Ronnie over 5 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.

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