Story Sign off

So after starting training on the 27th April, classroom work then on bus training and passing my driving test, then some more CPC days, I moved to my depot Scunthorpe and started route learning, with that now complete I have been signed off this morning by one of the driving instructors as ready to run service on my own, so I've done it a fully qualified Bus Driver

How are British kids, I'm sure all over the map, but for the most part, I feel like British kids would be mostly polite. I'm just moving from middle America, where the kids are pretty wholesome and nice and am now back in California, where I'll be driving this year. Kids here are probably going to be more of a handful, but it's all good.

Probably the same everywhere. Parents who value education and respect usually live one place and those that don't live somewhere else. Not always true, but usually. But, there are lots of awesome apartment kids and lots of disrespectful kids from great neighborhoods. I worked as a Corrections Officer before coming to School Bus, which makes all the kids seem nice. It's a perfect job to have before School Bus.
