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.
Generally no.
Yep.
I would speak with the driver first. Be careful accusing other kids of actions. The bus is a very delicate balancing act.
Some people just aren't morning people, other people just don't like people. Sometimes these people are forced to get a job doing something they don't care to do. Personally, a job is what you make it.

Are you expected to take a bullet that's meant for someone you're guarding?

Did you ever catch something critical right before a plane was about to take off?
No. No. No. I generally try to get through to all my bus riders and make them feel welcome on my bus regardless of past behavior or issues.
Because kids tear stuff apart.
The bus makes a beeping noise and it engages slowly to slow the bus down.
