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.
There may be charter trips and those use buses that may be school buses as well?
So students whined and got their way.
Remember that kids are people with emotions and worries like adults. Sometimes their shoulders are holding the world and they can't help it.
Depends on the state you live in.

Can I leave everything to my pets?
That every bus has air conditioning. That it's an easy job to make 50 to 100 kids sit down.
Lol well did they say it to her face? Don't say it behind someone's back. Seriously, grow up and quit acting like an asshole people.
Tobacco products are forbidden on school property. Buses are school property. If a kid has an e-cig, its illegal. That being said, generally I would confiscate it and turn it in to administration. I've also been known to look the other way on certain runs when it's strictly highschool kids if they have dip or other items as long as they don't make a scene with it or are obnoxious about it. Basically don't blow a smoke cloud on my bus or you will get caught.
