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.

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

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

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.

Do you think this is degrading to drivers? These are the types of videos they make us watch and are trying to make us hold up to impossible standards especially during COVID-19. Do you have any advice jj get they are trying to be funny https://youtu.be/vzfPKI4ukE8

Asked by Lacie about 5 years ago

I think the video is fine. Most people do not understand what we go through as drivers and it's informational. If you're offended by it then change jobs.

What do you think of this video? https://youtu.be/cNGgZtTBmCc

Im not a teacher but tbh its hard to say what one should do. We are charged with keeping kids safe so if we get sick and kids get sick its a catch 22.

Have you been doing any summer school routes or field trips for summer school now that summer school has started?

Asked by Samual over 5 years ago

As of now, our system is closed until August and then opening will depend on the Covid-19 situation.

Why do some drivers have X rule while others will have the exact opposite (Y rule) and others won’t have any rule on it at all.

Asked by Darren over 5 years ago

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.
