I found a bracelet at the laundromat. I want to get it back to its owner. Describe it and it’s yours.

I totally agree to this. Some kids don’t have respect for there parents how do you expect them to have respect for a bus driver or teacher. Kids today should have lived back in the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s.

As a school bus driver, I want to explain something very important. My job is simple: to transport your child from point A to point B safely, on time, and ready to learn. That’s it.

Let me break down what safely means:

I inspect my bus every day to ensure it’s running properly and hasn’t been tampered with.

My eyes are constantly scanning all 7 mirrors, blind spots, and the road ahead to avoid potential hazards.

Now, here’s what I’m not:

I’m NOT a babysitter.

I’m NOT a mediator.

I’m a BUS DRIVER.

While I’d love to monitor everything happening in the 40 feet of chaos behind me, I simply can’t. If I’m watching Johnny jump across the seats, I might miss a car pulling out in front of the bus. If I’m yelling at Susie to keep her hands to herself, I could miss a light change and have to slam the brakes. And while I’m handling Katie’s spilled bookbag, Joey’s nosebleed, or Bobby flicking someone, the unthinkable could happen—like a car running through my stop sign, putting Sally in danger.

It’s a never-ending challenge. And let’s not forget how some children speak to us—disrespectfully, in ways I’m sure they don’t speak to teachers or parents.

So, parents, let me ask you:

Where should I focus my attention? On the kids behind me or the road ahead?

Should I pull over every single time someone yells “bus driver”? If I did, we’d never leave the school parking lot, and then you’d complain we’re always late.

Or should I keep driving, knowing I can’t catch every little misstep happening behind me?

Your children are not perfect—no one is. But my priority is to keep them safe. To do that, I need to focus on the road, not referee behavior.

Please, teach your children to respect the bus driver and to behave on the bus. We want to bring them back to you safe and sound every single day. That’s our only goal.
