I can’t imagine being a bus driver. 15 years ago when I was riding the bus regularly we were shits, but we knew where the limit was. Kids now don’t seem to know where to stop.
I’m a school bus driver. I tried to enforce the mask-wearing rules towards the end of COVID and some of the kids literally threatened to kill me with a plastic bag over my head or with guns they said they would get from their dads. Nothing was done despite this all being video recorded. A few months later the same kids threw goldfish (the crackers, not the actual fish) at me and got banned from the bus for a week. Go figure.
My only real problem was with their choice of snack food. If they’d thrown white chocolate Kit-Kats at me I would have just picked them up and said nothing about it.
Y’all are saints for putting up with those little shitheads. It really sucks that the schools won’t do anything about threats of violence either, and that’s something I’ve heard from teachers too.
Covid really fucked this generation up. I was lucky enough to be well into college by the time it hit. With these kids their formative years were entirely online
It’s a pretty sweet job honestly. Pay is good and it includes health insurance and a small pension, and you get the middle of the day to yourself. All you have to do is drive a big yellow Tonka truck around and put up with the occasional obnoxious middle-schooler.

You illustrate my point perfectly.

Covid simply accelerated what was already happening

My dad is one currently. He actually likes it. Although he has had COVID three times because of it.

Sadly, yes he is doing it for the insurance. He is retired but not yet 65.
