Female, 37

I have been a bus driver since late 2006. I know the inside story, the scoop, the down low dirt of what it takes to be a bus driver, how to handle kids and adults, and how to survive on the "streets" so to speak. I used to have a blog, feel free to browse it or ask me a question here.

Asked by Interviewer over 5 years ago

That's a good idea actually. Sadly, coaches do not see it this way and neither do the bureaucrats in the school board offices. They do what they want to do.
