Female, 37

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.

Hello, is your district ever going to have you deliver meals to kids like the ice cream truck or naw?

Asked by Bro almost 6 years ago

I wish we could but right now the answer is no.

Have you ever had a bus fire? What did/would happen?

Asked by Johnson over 6 years ago

Not personally but there have been a few fires in my district. Thankfully no students injured and in both the fire was quickly extinguished by either the driver or the fire department. As for your other question which has been removed i took items out of my bio that i felt could be used to narrow it down to where i am and my district. Its a protection.

Is it sad that you will not see some kids again because of the early break VERY EARLY break.

Asked by ************ about 6 years ago

Yes actually. I miss every one of my bus kids. Even the ones who make me want to pull my hair out in frustration because they're the ones that need me the most. I've tried to keep in contact with parents as best I can but there is only so much I am allowed to do.

Is a write up and a citation the same thing?

Asked by Danie over 6 years ago

Yes. It is.

Do drivers get fired for mishandling students. I don’t mean assaulting, batting, or calling them horrible names. But like yelling too much, too many citations, and/or swearing

Asked by Nsnsnsnsnssdnej over 6 years ago

That depends on the district. Most districts prefer drivers to try to get along and strike a balance with their bus kids.

Have you been doing any kind of work during this COVID-19 deal? If so what have you been doing meals or parking buses so kids can get on WIFI just things I have heard of

Asked by 02938457 about 6 years ago

As of now our district is not using us bus drivers yet. We don't have wifi on our buses though i wish we did.
