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.
Some drivers have old fashioned rules but it doesn't mean that they are wrong. Generally though to avoid harassment or problems I will sit boys with boys and girls with girls.
Thats why all the strobes ive seen are white. The student lights do strobe on their own on newer buses for visibility reasons.
The bus makes a beeping noise and it engages slowly to slow the bus down.
Honestly, I've never heard of that. We joke all the time on the radio and cut up and have a good time. Sometimes adding a little humor to the day is the only way we survive.

First off that's hysterical because it seems the problem is everywhere. That happens in my district too.

You should talk with your supervisor and see if he or she can make an announcement or have a refresher meeting.
Because we like torturing kids. I really don't know the real reason.
