Hello, I need to ask you. Do you think if a parent homeschooling their kid and wants to be a bus driver so they can be home during the day. Do you think some higher up academics will look down upon that? I know some people are very judgmental...

I apologize ran out of space. Continuing... towards people who do? I know there are some teachers and academics who for some reason look down on parents who do this. I know it’s a stupid question and I’m just being silly.

I’m new. How do you deal with self entitled kids who think the world revolves around them?

I get paid the same whether I wait on someone or not. I don’t care what your last driver did. Waiting on kids most of the time is a curtesy and at drivers discretion.

It’s not fair to all the other kids to have to be late getting to school and late getting home. Because someone forgot their bag at home or someone forgot they were not supposed to go to school that day or forgot their planner. Or their brother or sister is taking two hours. Or you want to walk up a road as slow as you can.

I think some drivers are petty about if. If I see a kid is almost to the bus I will wait. But I ain’t gonna sit all day long.

Yes some drivers will wait five ten sometimes 15 minutes or longer and it makes ZERO sense to me at all.

I’m sorry. Some drivers have more patients then I do. I get paid the same whether someone rides or not.

They aren’t entitled to me to sit and wait or turn back around. I will SOMETIMES do it at the beginning of the year. But once people start to abuse it that or it’s a one time thing.

Karen I don’t care your son isn’t ready yet. I don’t care you wanted to wait inside the house. I did not see you. It’s raining yes. But there are kids standing out in the rain and shouldn’t have to stay out there longer because some kids can’t get their ass outside on time.

I’m sorry. The stop times or too early or too late. I can’t please everyone. It is for the majority of students. Many high schoolers need to get to school earlier then normal. While other times I’m not going to sit in the bus terminal for 15 minutes. But I’m done ranting.

What do you think of districts that have school come hell or high water and put students and staff in danger. Even when most schools are closed for winter weather sometimes even if it’s a ice storm or blizzard there is always one still plowing on

Asked by Seventeen almost 5 years ago

Is it true that in the mornings and afternoons at each stop at least one adult a parent, guardian, or someone at least to be at the stops? Even for older children? The driver at the meet and greet thing said that. Why is it?

Asked by Tabitha over 4 years ago

I’m sorry. This isn’t Uber. I have 70-90 other kids on the bus. I can’t accommodate everyone. For some reason if I have 50 or 70 kids on a bus.

If the bus schedule doesn’t work find another ride to school. Stop locations are another problem
