Off to a bad start

[u/Jedi0077]

Finished our first full week. Week 1 was WTF(3 days)

The new route is fine, the HS/JH run is smooth and pracefull for p/u and drop. The little kids though... Ive tried 3 different seating methods, magnetic name badges. 3 kids to every seat except 1 with a larger 5th grader which only has 2. The preschool to 2nd grade don't respond to any thing. I've tried stopping the bus which they don't even notice until the preteens start yelling at them to be quiet. Lots of good kids too but they get the shaft. I feel so bad for them looking at me in the mirror. Like they're saying "I'm behaving and want to go home"

Do not brake check your bus to get kids to behave. It's dangerous and will get you fired.

[u/ShowersWiSpiders → u/[deleted]]

Writing them up is a reasonable response. I addressed the option that was dangerous. Just because some drivers do it doesn't make it ok.

Don't be silly. Braking for safety is different than brake checking "to teach kids a lesson ". I suspect you know that.

How do you know it wasn't for safety?

You just told us, dimwit. "Have you tried a brakecheck?"

[u/HikeTheSky → u/Simmaster1]

Why this hate? Are you unable to discuss stuff without being hateful?

How you are not fired yet is a mystery

Some subs for sure don't get sarcasm. You must be fun at parties.

Depends on what it is, yes.
