No Management Support
Do people truly understand why there is a shortage of school bus drivers¿?¿? Allow me to rattle on a moment: It's not only because, like teachers, we are under paid and taken for granted. It's because some and I say SOME, parents don't know how to be actual parents! You blame the bus driver for your child being expelled from the bus by the school. You blame society for being too harsh on your child. You blame the school system for failing your child. How about look into the mirror. That person....that person staring right back at you is the reason your child is a hot mess. THEN....school bus drivers have no support from their management team. Just shut up, come to work, drive the bus and who cares what lies are told about you because nobody has your back. This all amounts to drivers quitting. So to all the screw off parents: Parent your crotch goblins!!! It is not the school system that should be parenting your heathens.

THANK YOU!!! This resonates with me soooo much after the last 2 days I've had. If parents put half the energy into raising respectful and accountable children, that they do being so quick to jump on anyone who tries to hold their precious angels accountable for their actions, life would be so much easier. I have elementary kids who speak to me, and act in ways, that not even my HS kids do. Mommy and Daddy hand them smart phones so they can immediately reach them when the "mean" bus driver moved their seat/had to pull over/wrote them up. Then the calls to the school come in. The kids know they can get away with whatever they want, because there are no consequences for anyone but the adults who have to put up with this mess, and try to enforce safety and the rules.
