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.
Remember that kids are people with emotions and worries like adults. Sometimes their shoulders are holding the world and they can't help it.
That every bus has air conditioning. That it's an easy job to make 50 to 100 kids sit down.
Subs are welcome to give feedback to regular drivers on their routes. Many times the kids will act out or act differently when there is a sub on the bus because they think they can get away with it. Generally not everyone is cut out to drive a school bus, so we do have people who will quit after a stressful moment. That being said drivers come from all walks of life and backgrounds.

Suicide Hotline Manager
Has anyone killed themselves during a call?
Dry Cleaner
Why do dry cleaners have autographed pictures on their walls?
Personal Injury Lawyer
How do I get out of jury duty?
No its not illegal. Rude yes. Illegal no. Also turn that horseshit off.
Because a sub doesnt know how the regular driver runs the route and their driving style is different from the regular drivers style
Drivers names aren't bad to have on there. Parents can look up a route then call the shop and say hey i found my kids route with x driver and it helps the shop narrow it down so parents can get in contact with the driver.
