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.

Back when we where in school we had a really mean sub and I dared my friend to cuss her out and he did and she started cussing back. So we baited her so can she get fired now or at least written up see how she likes it?

Asked by Katie almost 5 years ago

That was a dick move on your part. Next time how about being nice. Baiting someone never gets you anywhere.

HAHAHA. Someone asked why buses drive so fast?! Their like the slowest on the roads slower then even semi trucks. Do they even drive over 40 miles per hour? Hell their don’t even usually go the speed limit. A better question is why do they go so slow

Asked by Ryab about 5 years ago

Buses generally are governed at a maximum speed of 60 to 65 mph. By federal law we cannot exceed 55 mph but most drivers will attempt to go the speed limit or at least keep with the flow of traffic.

What do you think of this video here? https://youtu.be/W4UaHTR8Zk4 What did she do right and could she have done better on anything to me she sounds like she did pretty good.

Asked by Martina almost 5 years ago

She did everything right.

Are they doing this in your district too? Could I potentially win a suit? So, if a staff member refuses to force a child to wear a mask etc they get reprimanded and eventually fired if not immediately. I don’t think this is right.

Asked by Wade almost 5 years ago

You don't think its right they fired the staff member? In many states they don't need a reason to fire a person.

should AC become standard on school buses?

Asked by Rayleigh almost 5 years ago

Yes. It is too hot not to have air conditioning.

Hello ma’m what do you think about MANDATING (not recommending or under certain conditions) masks in schools where social distancing can’t be bla bla bla. I personally don’t think it’s right but what do you think? Should schools even reopen?

Asked by Molleigh almost 5 years ago

Mandating is fine but the school district needs to acknowledge that enforcement of something like that can disrupt the education process.

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.
