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.
Truthfully if you were standing out in the storm that makes you a dumbass. Waiting for a bus or not is beside the point, if you don't feel safe to do so always ask your parents to either take you or sit with you in their vehicles at the stop.
Yes. Can't tell you because I don't want to get fired. No specific company or district is the best it just depends on what works for the employees. Starting salaries vary from district and company to district and company as does support and all that jazz. Sometimes it is hard.
No. Riding is a privilege not a right. The moment we bring money into it we remove the authority to kick a child off the bus for acting out simply because his parents pay for the service exclusively.
Depends on how the working environment is. Failure to treat your employees properly will result in them quitting.
TV Meteorologist
Is having a weatherman really better than just throwing to a 5-day forecast screen?
Couples Therapist
Does a therapist aim to "fix" the client, or just treat the client indefinitely?
Las Vegas Cab Driver
Do people ever ask you to keep your meter off in exchange for a cheaper fare?
There is a shortage everywhere. It's unfortunate the company did not have coverage to transport the child to and from school however if the hiring is falling with the school board then the school board needs action
Report the driver to the district. Also don't stand on the bus.
Probably. Just don't do it because you can lose your riding privilege. Don't say i didn't warn you.
