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.
Every district runs their buses differently as do drivers run their routes differently. Lots of things that happen in movies are unrealistic to the "real" world as you put it but movie directors aren't thinking about reality, only the fantasy they are creating for the viewer to see. In a fantasy world, all students would sit down, behave, and not bully each other but we both know that's a fantasy too!
Remember that kids are people with emotions and worries like adults. Sometimes their shoulders are holding the world and they can't help it.
That every bus has air conditioning. That it's an easy job to make 50 to 100 kids sit down.
Identify the stereotypes and I'll confirm or deny.
