Hey why are some districts super strict on their drivers and then others let them get away with pretty much anything as long as their not putting their hands on kids or DWI or something crazy?

Asked by I was wrong once about 6 years ago

It depends on the district and the company. Sometimes, districts have to consider how they would look to the general public if their personnel did certain things so they put policies in place to ensure that their people follow them. That's not to say that people don't accidentally mess up now and again.

Not sure. You would have to ask an expert in ham radios for that.

Well bad. I heard she goes on rants, raves, and tirades and that she is really mean. That she has broken things and there are roomers of her putting her hands on people. Any advice thanks. Sorry for making it two questions I wanted to tell the story.

Asked by Ryan over 6 years ago

If she does put her hands on people, that's not okay. But consider your actions on the bus and try to get the other kids on your bus to stop acting out. Being mean for the sake of being mean is one thing but being mean but also being fair is another. If she holds everyone to the same standards then you may find you actually like her.

Asked by Rob almost 6 years ago

Someone's gotta do it. It's either that or the district offers remote learning options for the teenagers and not everyone succeeds that way.

Question, have you ever been in a situation where a blizzard on a long trip has you stranded out of state and they shut the highway down. What did or would you do? Would you drive until they shut it down or pull over when would you feel unsafe to drivers

Asked by Jake From State Farm at 3:00 in the morning almost 6 years ago

No i haven't been in that situation but i have been in a situation where immediate weather has forced me to stop driving for a period for the safety of my bus kids. It's always safer to stop and shelter in place or seek out a secure building in those situations.

No, thank goodness, though I have been involved in a few fender benders. Minor incidents, minimal damage.

How do you control kids when their being difficult? What kinds of disciplinary actions do you usually take

Asked by ****** about 6 years ago

I use a variety of positive reinforcement tactics. For most kids, a routine is best so assigning them a seat on the bus and a seatmate they're friends with alleviates 90 percent of behavior issues. The other 10 percent, I use positive rewards for good behavior and largely ignore the bad behavior. Sometimes with a difficult child, I assign them a "job" like making sure everyone is awake. Now occasionally even this method doesn't work and I do have to resort to writing a child up and turning them into the school but that is a last resort.
