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.
Bus aide yes. Not very often though as the need for drivers was much greater.
It depends on the district. We are shorthanded everywhere so overcrowding is bound to happen. Routes are made longer and schools are not changing the way they do things to accommodate the sheer number and stress we are under. The amount of kids also depends on the location of the route. A rural route is less crowded but longer whereas a city route can be very crowded at times.
Happens here all the time. The radio can be tied up for 10 minutes or longer on non essential crap.
It is sad and year after year we have more kids get hit by other drivers who don't pay attention.

What's the the stupidest IT question you've every gotten?
They get pretty loud. From the drivers seat it doesn't sound too loud, but moving away from the noise of the engine it can get really loud. The bass and treble are marginal at best.

It's always best to have a cdl class b to drive any commercial vehicle but it depends on the company's requirements.
