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.

Also does it annoy you when someone calls it a year when it is not a year. It is a term.

Asked by You over 5 years ago

Nah I call it a year or a term it's both.

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?

Asked by Raven almost 6 years ago

It just shows me the name of the person who asked the question. It sends me an email notification saying someone asked a question. I don't see anymore than the question itself and the name you chose like in this case its Raven

What do you do in a medical emergency?

Asked by Carson over 5 years ago

Call 911. No really. Call 911 lol. Most of the time it depends on the kind of emergency it is. We are all CPR and basic first aid certified so we can handle things like choking and stuff but generally we call for help.

But here is the thing when I am good I still don't want to hear them yelling at other people and about other things. They only like a handful of kids and the new lady has a shrill yell. Miles away from school both parents work

Wear earplugs? Or get your fellow students to sit down, behave, and stop doing shit that will get them yelled at.

How many hours do bus drivers get for vacation, paternity leave, personal days, sick days, etc?

Asked by Tim almost 6 years ago

It depends on the district. I know that we get approximately 11 sick days every year to use, and we max out sick days at 45 though we can accumulate more than 45. If we have more than 50 at the end of the year we get a 500 dollar bonus. We get 3 personal days per year. Vacation is strictly whatever school schedule is. Leave types are case by case basis and approved by administration.

Have you ever had to delete a rude, dumb, troll, and/or irrelevant question?

Asked by Johnson almost 6 years ago

Yep.

How much trouble do you think a driver would get in for screaming shut the “F” up to a high school student?

Asked by Watson almost 6 years ago

Depends on the context and how many other ears were around to hear the cuss word. If i have all highschoolers, I've been known to relax the rules a bit and cut up with them because God knows they've heard worse already.
