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.

So, there's kids on the bus I ride to the school and back home. They cause problems constantly and they made a mess earlier. Is it illegal or wrong to have them sweep it up while sitting as the bus is moving?

So in the last number of years they have got the police involved with more things and students. Such as fights, kids throwing a fit, minor vandalism, and much smaller stuff. What do you think about this? Do you think that it is fair? Do you think it’s just their lazy way out of not having to deal with it kind of like giving every kid suspension? What is it I mean yes technically they can and Obama a few years ago wanted this but I personally don’t think just because they CAN do something does not mean they always do. Like I don’t think a simple fist fight over a girl or a cat fight over a boy or someone looked at them wrong but no one really got hurt really is something the police need to be called for unless someone is wanting to press charges. That is the same for say someone drawing or poking a hole in a school bus seat. Again something the administration should handle. But I feel like I’m the last few years there has been more just calling the police to deal with everything. I don’t know if they are just wanting to be more scary by doing it. If this is something that is necessary because of a uptick in misbehaving. Or if it’s just because the admin don’t really want to deal with it but they look bad if they do nothing plus they will keep having to deal with the issue so they just turn it over to the police. Now I understand definitely if someone is being best for no reason or they destroy a entire bathroom or something. But I think this had gotten a bit. Ridiculous. Your thoughts?

Happy 4th! What I want to ask is why do some districts transport students who are not even a block from school while others only transport 1-3 miles. As well as some schools are starting to be “schools of choice” and they used to not transport but now their starting to.exstend routes to do that. As wel as.part.time employees kids
