Work School Bus with Rowdy Kids

Deference to expertise
As a school bus driver I had a route where the kids would hide rather than stand at the bus stop. My route is for the kids who are about to be dropped from the school system for behavior problems, no one wants to be seen getting on my bus. However I do not have a problem with student’s behavior. The district rule is to call dispatch if we stop more than three minutes and call the police if we stop more than five minutes. I stop for one minute then move the bus forward and stop for one minute. Then I do not have to report in. But the kids know they will be late getting home or reporting to work. They learn to control each other in a positive way.
