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.

Asked by The only way better is the fact over 6 years ago

Do yo ever have problems with white knighting when you get someone in trouble?

An example: little Johnny hit on the bus.Momma: well little suzie told him to!
