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.

Have you ever seen that bus that can go 300 MPH?

Asked by Darla about 6 years ago

On YouTube, probably. ???????

When do you think schools should start and how? There are so many options such as just do it normal, staggered schedules (many options inside this one), hybrid, use social distancing guidelines but have normal schedules, or something else?

Asked by Mark almost 6 years ago

Personally, they should be doing hybrid or virtual where possible. If companies still won't let their employees be in person then why are we asking our kids and teachers to take that same risk?

What is a good behavioral system to have in place besides yelling and screaming or writing people up

Asked by Donna about 6 years ago

Rewards for positive behavior. Interaction with the riders. Showing interest in their activities. All of these are positive ways of encouraging better behavior in students. Being firm and consistent is not the same as yelling and screaming at the kids.

So they moved the date school starts again. This time to Aug. 20. I know summer school is in progress but this seems like it will never blow over will it? These people predicting COVID-19 are worse then weather men liars. Not just for schools but everything

Asked by Concerned citizen about 6 years ago

The date school starts is dependent on each state and individual district. Right now my district is on track to start back but if numbers keep rising, we're going to be back in isolation again.

Is it okay for a driver to let a kid talk to him/her while their driving? What kinds of things do you sometimes talk about with kids about?

Asked by Dayton about 6 years ago

Yes. Of course it is. We talk about everything.

Wow this page is sooooo cool how do you answer so many questions?

Asked by Dayton about 6 years ago

The questions get emailed to me and when i have time i come here, sign in, and answer them.

What is something that other drives do that you drive you up the wall. I know you mentioned drives playing on the CB and arriving at the schools too early. Why and what are some other things?

Asked by Jane about 6 years ago

Tattle on each other for menial things that really are not a big deal in the first place. An example of this is a post on social media that they don't agree with so they take it to the boss to get the other person in trouble. It's childish and stupid.
