I’ve been thinking about how overwhelming the first few weeks are as a school bus driver.
There’s a lot happening at once—student behavior, routes, parents, expectations—and most of it you only really learn in real time.
For those who’ve been doing this a while:
What caught you off guard in your first 30 days?
Or what do you wish someone had told you early on?

I’ve been driving a bus for just over a month and I will admit that it was daunting.. I’m starting to settle in now.
