Also the administrators and supervisors would see it and if it was too harsh or too nice they could change or toss it out. They could still also make another punishment. It’s more work for them and sometimes they may not even get around to it.

Do people ever raise hell about when the bus stop is in their driveway? Does the district ask notify the home owners and ask them if its okay or do they just put kids out there. I heard a story of a very irate man chasing kids off his driveway.

Generally bus stops are decided either by the driver or by the district. If someone has a problem with the location of the stop they just need to contact the district.

I'm not really sure to be honest. That would be a question for a mechanic.

What is the angriest a parent has ever been with you and what happens?

Asked by Connie bear over 5 years ago

I've had a parent step up on my bus and shout in my face before. Generally once they say what they want to say it's over. Occasionally they will get so riled up that they will ignore bus driver requests to exit the bus and we have to call the police. The police can then arrest them for trespassing.
