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.
Most school buses are now automatic shifting so jake brakes are not necessary or needed.
Probably pouring down rain where I could not see a few feet in front of me and I had to stop due to a tornado warning.

Were there a lot of suicides in your prison, and what's the most common way prisoners do it?

Many people in education come from a varied background. Lots of drivers I know are very liberal and some are conservative as well. There are lots of people that have differing opinions on political views. That's not to say that our views are right or wrong. Many of us are living pay check to pay check and have seen the harsh reality of the service industry so when we get somebody that wants to offer free stuff we have a question about the legitimacy of the offer.
I think they went too far in firing a person over their religious beliefs.
