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.

What should I do I keep having my aide pulled who’s not been qualified to dive a bus and my bus is absolutely out of control. What can I do? Have you ever had a problem like this?

Asked by Paula over 4 years ago

Change jobs. Most buses do not have aides on the bus to help monitor the children or their behavior. So either you can write them up for horrible behavior, learn how to relate to your kids, or change jobs.

Why do some drivers use the radios to just talk and talk and talk non stop all the time and never let people who need to use them on because they just wanna hear themselves talk I guess.

Asked by Donald over 4 years ago

Because they like to hear themselves talk and yammer on.

I do not understand how this driver even got her job back and isn't in jail? I guess having a good lawyer maybe. Maybe you could take a look and see what you think as a insider so to speak https://www.syracuse.com/schools/2019/07/judges-rule-j-d-bus-driver-who-slapped-child-should-get-job-back-district-may-appeal.html#:~:text=Judges%20rule%20J-D%20bus%20driver%20who%20slapped%20child,her%20job%2C%20a%20panel%20of%20judges%20have%20said.

While it wasn't right that she slapped the child, the child was lashing out in anger first and being physical with the driver. It was definitely a momentary lapse in judgement. Is it a career ending one? No. How many parents get their kids taken away just because they walloped their kid on the behind once. There was no excessive force and it was likely a moment of reactionary behavior to what the child was doing.
