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.

Are these just not the incidents that just drive you crazy? Parents complaint about things that don’t matter. Not every one has the luxury of getting on the bus at 8. Also their made to accommodate the majority of students. even when the routee are https://youtu.be/byQ3WceqM3c

Asked by Belinda over 5 years ago

Tbh if a parent wants to bitch about the time the bus comes they have 2 options. 1 become a driver or 2 drive your own damn kid.

Would you recommend during the COVID-19 stats students ride the bus?

Asked by Save water drink soda over 5 years ago

Buses are overcrowded so if the kids and parents don't mind no social distancing...

Hi I see you have been asked a lot of questions recently but I just have to ask mine sorry. So with these protests going on what do you do if protesters are throwing things on the bus, ripping things off, climbing on it, or even trying to board?

Asked by Jamie almost 6 years ago

1. Not even attempt to put myself in harms way.

2. If i happen across a group of angry violent protesters, do not stop, keep going. They either move or get squished.

3. I have no issue with peaceful protests but those are the ones that aren't blocking roads and causing violence and mayhem.

My driver tells us about how he used to be in all these crash demolition derby’s that’s how he learned to drive a bus and he has photos all over the bus. Should I be worried? Uhh there’s some traffic JUMP where at school. Just ram some cars no biggie

Asked by Rylee over 5 years ago

Nah if he shows issues like being unsafe in actual driving then bring it to someone's attention.

Hello ma’m what do you think about MANDATING (not recommending or under certain conditions) masks in schools where social distancing can’t be bla bla bla. I personally don’t think it’s right but what do you think? Should schools even reopen?

Asked by Molleigh over 5 years ago

Mandating is fine but the school district needs to acknowledge that enforcement of something like that can disrupt the education process.

Are they doing this in your district too? Could I potentially win a suit? So, if a staff member refuses to force a child to wear a mask etc they get reprimanded and eventually fired if not immediately. I don’t think this is right.

Asked by Wade over 5 years ago

You don't think its right they fired the staff member? In many states they don't need a reason to fire a person.

What time does bus 13 arrive?

Asked by Jamie over 5 years ago
