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.
Well its not so much the fact that you are standing its that there are other moving vehicles around the bus. The safest place for a child to be is seated properly in the seat. It also cuts down on any major issues that can arise by someone roaming the bus like bullying or fighting.
That would depend on your district and the bus driver. You could ask but chances are good the driver will say no.
There is a shortage everywhere. It's unfortunate the company did not have coverage to transport the child to and from school however if the hiring is falling with the school board then the school board needs action
No. Riding is a privilege not a right. The moment we bring money into it we remove the authority to kick a child off the bus for acting out simply because his parents pay for the service exclusively.

Are there social cliques (like "cool kids") in old folks homes?
Dry Cleaner
Why do dry cleaners have autographed pictures on their walls?

How much protection do those bomb disposal suits really provide?
Hahaha i saw that yesterday
I would think that means that they have an emergency situation that needs attention immediately instead of waiting forever for someone who might or might not respond.
Report the driver to the district. Also don't stand on the bus.
