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.

We even have multiple meetings and announcements on the subject but people still ignore policy.

Nothing. Kids think its a privilege but we see everything that happens.
