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.

Are school buss drivers allude to take a students phone away from them in Ohio

Asked by Elliot about 6 years ago

Yes if the phone is causing a distraction and it is school policy. The school bus is the extension of the classroom and is basically a mobile moving classroom. Do something stupid with your phone, lose the privilege of having it on the bus.

Honestly I think its better then a driver who sits there and does nothing and lets people act how they want even if it makes someone unsafe or uncomfortable.

Asked by John almost 6 years ago

Very true. Having some form of discipline is better than nothing.

What is the first letter of your first name?

Asked by Jerry almost 6 years ago

B for bus driver.

Does a bus driver have the right to not let someone on who is on the roster just for a dress code violation?

Asked by Sam almost 6 years ago

Yes. If you are in violation of dress code they can refuse to transport you. Don't violate dress code.

Here is something for you there is this sub bus driver who looks just like Dee Wallace who is very rude and yelled at me for doing homework while she was talking and threw it in the trash. What should I do?

Asked by Jamie about 6 years ago

Don't do your homework on the bus.

There is also a video of a bus driver blowing a whistle in a kids ear and yelling at him.

Asked by Jeff almost 6 years ago

Thats unacceptable.

Okay so I heard somewhere that a bus driver can not break up a fight. My bus driver a few years ago did and nothing happened to her. She still drove so she did not get fired, suspended, or put in jail

Asked by Karen almost 6 years ago

It depends on the district policies and is generally left up to the personal call of the driver in charge. For example, if I have two middle school or high school kids fighting, I will call the cops. But if the kids are elementary, scrawny and tiny, I'll intervene before they beat the snot out of each other.
