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.

Why do people think these forms are chat rooms?

Asked by Donaldsoneeson over 6 years ago

I don't know?

Do you think this virus will close down schools and what precautions are they taking?

Asked by Worried over 6 years ago

Many school districts are already choosing to voluntarily close in an effort to curtail any mass spread of a disease that has a high infection rate. This is known as social distancing. They recognize that putting several children in a confined space (classrooms, buses, and cafeterias) are prime sources for the spread of germs whether intentional or non intentional and given the risk to the immunocompromised being proactive is better than being reactive. My district is shutting down for 3 weeks and they will be disinfecting the schools and buses in an effort to curtail the spread of germs.

What is that tape used for covering up rips, holes, tears, and graffiti called?

Is it possible to volunteer as a reserve bus driver?

Asked by Nsnsnsnd over 6 years ago

Not sure. Can't hurt to ask around.

Yes they luckily took them off and put the bus info into SIS but there is still archives of them. So I think people complained but they are still there. Do you think that should be brought up?

Asked by DJ over 6 years ago

I would notify them of the archives and link them to the archives then they can fix the problem.

Do bus drivers really ever make a kid come to the bus barn and help them clean the bus or repair damage? I have had a few threaten it before just curious.

Asked by RAAARW over 6 years ago

Potentially yes if permission is given by parents and the supervisor of the bus barn. Truthfully just clean up after yourselves and we won't have an issue.

Thanks. I would I be required to stop for say a church bus with red lights and a stop sign?

Asked by Kimberly over 6 years ago

Better to be safe than sorry. You wouldn't want to chance a child getting hurt.
