How do you handle “kids” when they have constant behaviour problems, the use lots if profanity, talk too loud, yell, smoke, talk back, bad mouth the bus driver where the driver can hear them, etc?

Asked by Gannet over 5 years ago

Write them up and turn them into the administration. Generally i try to handle problems before they get out of control though.

So a judge could not do anything even if he or she wanted to. Honestly that was all I wanted to know is if it was legal or not. Again I am not going to do it and I don’t want the bus driver arrested or sued. Sorry and thank you.
