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.

Can you see the E-mail and username of people asking questions or does it just show the screen name at the top like Raven?

Why does school have to start so early? I mean if they have to they could just end later, right?
