Thread Of The Day

Negative school bus incidents are constantly in the news these days. Tension between fed up drivers and unruly kids is a ticking time bomb. Parents are crazy for even allowing their kids to ride the bus. At least that’s what the media seems to want us to believe.

I don’t think this is reality, though. Sure, there are occasional, isolated incidents, but most bus drivers and their student passengers have a great rapport with each other. Many drivers consider the kids part of their extended family.

Anyways, in this thread at SchoolBusFleet.com, the school bus drivers share funny things their students have said.

P.S.

This post is dedicated to a very special school bus driver in Kutztown, PA. I can imagine her telling any number of stories like the ones in this thread, and it brings a smile to my face. We haven’t spoken in a few years, but I think of her often.

Some people think teachers are underpaid and some think they are overpaid. I will not get into that debate, but I know I would not want to be in their shoes in this typical situation.

 In this thread a teacher is preparing to have a conference with the parent of a trouble student. Of course the parent thinks their child is an angel and it is all the teacher’s fault. In post #16 you can see a review of how the conference went.
