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.
If the parent is being unreasonable, let them know they can continue the issue with your supervisor and shut the door in their face. Bus riding is a privilege not a right.
Because kids tear stuff apart.
Not that I've seen but it would be awesome if we did have air horns. People are gonna run our stop signs regardless.
What other weird rules are you talking about?

Are the melt-down auditions on American Idol staged?
No. No. No. I generally try to get through to all my bus riders and make them feel welcome on my bus regardless of past behavior or issues.
No there isn't a difference that I can see though different states may have different requirements.
Maybe stop acting out on the bus. Or don't ride if you don't like it. You always have other options including your own two feet and the wheels of a bicycle.
