Also the administrators and supervisors would see it and if it was too harsh or too nice they could change or toss it out. They could still also make another punishment. It’s more work for them and sometimes they may not even get around to it.

Does your district/company do summer school routes? Do they charter?

Asked by Donna the lama about 7 years ago

Summer school, yes. Charter, no. Though we have been asked by people outside the schools to provide a bus occasionally for local in town functions.

Hi, why does my bus come at random times? So one day it will come before 6:50 and another past seven. Anywhere in between. I am pretty sure that there are no routes before us. It is really not possible. We are the first route and then he does a elm

He might be trying to figure out the best way to do the route. If the problem continues for the next 2 weeks and a time isn't picked then complain to the district.

What is the angriest a parent has ever been with you and what happens?

Asked by Connie bear over 6 years ago

I've had a parent step up on my bus and shout in my face before. Generally once they say what they want to say it's over. Occasionally they will get so riled up that they will ignore bus driver requests to exit the bus and we have to call the police. The police can then arrest them for trespassing.

Why do you not like unions very much?

Asked by Rosemary about 7 years ago

Unions have their benefits and disadvantages. It depends on the state you live in as to how well a union would work for you.

I will try and ask a new questions since everyone keeps asking the same and similar questions lol. Okay why do a lot of places require a HS diploma or equivalent? It makes no since you can get CDL, endorsements, and learn to drive a bus without.

How does a diploma determine how good of a bus driver someone is?

Asked by Daniel over 6 years ago

Good question. Most employers in general ask for at minimum a highschool diploma even though you can get things like a drivers license and other things without one because they want to see how dedicated a person is to finishing what they start. A high school diploma (or GED) also shows that a person has dedicated time to finish something that was far more difficult than just a simple test. Stay in school.
