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.
Yes. If the driver is telling you and others where to sit you do not get to dictate who sits where and with who. Sorry it doesn't work that way. Slide in and make a new friend.
Honestly, it's my favorite time of year because i never know which houses will decorate and go all out. I love it.
That depends on the district. Most districts prefer drivers to try to get along and strike a balance with their bus kids.
Because we don't live in a Leave It To Beaver world. Instead we live in a get your butt up on time so you don't miss transportation to school world. Because the real world transportation doesn't care if you miss the bus or train or plane to that meeting with your boss.

Is having a weatherman really better than just throwing to a 5-day forecast screen?

How do sushi chefs tell when a fish has gone bad? Is it just the smell?

Are you allowed to hang up on a caller if they're being very rude?
I generally have a decent immune system thanks to the germ tube i drive. But occasionally a sickness gets through my immunity and knocks me for a loop. Usually happens once a year or every other year.
That's hard to say and also depends on the individual districts. I'm sure the extenuating circumstances will be taken into account when deciding what to do. The issue is in many rural areas kids do not have access to online like urban areas do and that puts them at a disadvantage.
As of now our district is not using us bus drivers yet. We don't have wifi on our buses though i wish we did.
