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.
Because we like torturing kids. I really don't know the real reason.
No there isn't a difference that I can see though different states may have different requirements.
Thats why all the strobes ive seen are white. The student lights do strobe on their own on newer buses for visibility reasons.
This is true. Radio usage is monitored and restricted by district.

I'm not entirely sure but it has to do with the make and model of the bus. Some school buses are 72 passenger and others are 90 passenger and still others are even less. So it just depends on the need of a company.
Control. There are many different ways to exert control over a bunch of kids. Some people do it through intimidation and scare tactics. I prefer a more practical approach. Treat them like I want to be treated.
