Now that bimbo plays the innocent victim. Fire her. She's a typical spoiled brat. There's no respect in her family. Seriously some bus drivers just don't even belong in that profession in the first place. She'll become someone elses problem.
Knew a bus driver once who would take his newspaper with him and when the kids got too rowdy, he would pull over in a safe spot, read his paper, and tell the kids that when they settled down enough for him to drive safely he would continue his drive to get them home. The rest of the kids who wanted to get home and have their snacks and get to play used peer pressure to get the bad kids to stop. It worked like a charm, nobody wanted to be "that kid" who held up the bus.
@@aaronowen4425 Our district actually expects the driver to pull over and stop if things are getting out of hand on the bus. If things get too unruly, law enforcement can be requested over the radio as well. We have had students removed by school personnel, police officers or Sheriffs Deputies over the years. Parents usually understand delays because they want their kids to be safe on the bus.
@@jameydenison2045 Oh definitely, The bus driver can pull the bus over and sit on the side of the road (on their own time of course, if they have a second job to get to that becomes problematic) I had problems with a kid that was a shuttle kid, pulled over - the police were called, also the principle of the school the kid went to came out to the sight and my supervisor also came. My rout was in the boonies so after all was said and done I and the kids sat on the bus for probably 35 or 40 min. only to be told to continue the rout and if I had any more trouble to call them again LOL the icing on the cake was where I pulled over was basically the last part of my rout that I had CB/cellphone service reception. I tell you what would solve the problem is if the kids were EXPECTED to act right on the bus and if the punishment for misbehaving was severe enough to denture further bad action. Schools have implemented the - PBIS Behavior intervention programs and they are nothing but a disaster and a joke.
@@aaronowen4425 Yeah, I know, it's difficult sometimes. But there are challenges in every profession. You just have to decide whether you have the hutzpah to stay with it or find another occupation. My time may come in the future, who knows.?
@@jameydenison2045 oh I definitely stayed with it - after 28 1/2 years I hung my hat up back in January - I had planned on trying to make 30 years but in the last 5 years it has snowballed into a job I would not recommend anyone going into. The schools WILL NOT back the drivers and there is no discipline for the kids. I will leave it with I highly recommend not going into the school field if a person is looking for a job. I shudder to see what it will be in another 5 - 10 years with the way things are progressing.
my mom was a driver for over 25 years. if the kids got out of hand or someone was picking on someone else or she suspected damage being done to the bus, she'd pull off the side of the road, look up in the mirror with her infamous one eyebrow up until it got quiet and then ask if everybody was ready to continue. kids loved her. parents loved her. I loved her......eyebrow and all.
The majority of schools already have that. Apparently all that tax money used to add the technology to the buses was a waste, bc the only time they seem to get reviewed is when something terrible happens that is obvious to all, like a wreck. These routes need to be monitored routinely and I guarantee you there’d be plenty of parent volunteers ready to review them.
@@povertylevelphilanthropy1524 how is it wasted? Of course it's helpful when you need to see the situation to determine who's right or wrong, who's lying or telling the truth.. why the fk do you have the need to monitor everything when there's no disputes? Are u a fking STALKER? 😮
@@povertylevelphilanthropy1524 nope. Parents hate to volunteer for anything: making copies day, help with selling ice cream, chaperoning etc now imagine pulling tapes everyday for no reason out of 700+ buses for 2 or 3 routes AM/PM. Im a bus driver and is not that easy. That mom just need to address the issue directly to school and transportation, the tape will show what happened and if driver is at fault. Some old buses (at least on my area) dont have mics to talk to kids so some might yell to be listened by kids on the back. My bus has a mic and I easily talk to my kids. I know all my kids names, they sit on assigned seat and i encourage well behavior. Some kids management classes are a plus for all bus drivers.
What worries me is she didn’t check her rear view to make sure the kids were in a seat before taking off in a huff. Which brings me to the fact is that she drove off in a huff aka road rage.
As a school bus driver myself I came here thinking this was a difficult parent then the moment that driver started talking I knew what type of person it was. I feel bad for some kids on a couple routes where I work cuz the drivers are more like prison guards.
Who cares if the driver acts like a prison guard if your kids are safe? The school bus is NOT a pleasure cruise. It's priority is safe transportation. Your snot nosed brats can sit there and shut up. If they can't handle that then drive them yourself! SMH!
Interesting how everyone else in the comments is fanatically supporting the driver and attacking the kids. I must be one of the unlucky few who had bad bus drivers in my day. One was like her and would always favor the bad kids and it’s just like being in the school already. There is no escaping the torment of public school.
I'm a school bus driver in Massachusetts. Parents talk a lot about safety, but these people are the worst drivers on the school grounds. They allow their small kids to hang out windows, the sunroof, run around while mom is on the phone, and another parent is upset because the car infront of her stopped for the flashing red lights on the school bus. Mom's are the absolute worst.
Years ago, not being sure if the driver was at fault or my child, I very kindly offered to sit on the bus next to my child for a week. Both my child and the bus driver stopped complaining. 😄
My mom did this if my teacher reported I was talking too much. (I’m now 50 years old and that’s the worst thing I ever did). My mother didn’t say anything nasty to the teacher. She just quietly sat in the back of the classroom. I stopped talking out of turn. 😊
That's how adults supposed to handle situations! The mom in this video is an idiotic narcissist it seems.. 😌 provoking & accusing & filming the driver while still letting her children get on the bus.. 🤦♀️🤦♂️
I'm a driver for JCPS (Louisville). A couple of years ago I was sent to substitute for a driver who was out sick. I spoke with the kids (Elementary school), told them I'd never driven this route before, I may ask for help, hoped I'd give them a smooth ride. "OK! Let's go home!" After a couple of stops, some kids were asking if I'd stay and drive them every day. "No, I'm pretty sure it's just for today." A few of them start chanting my name- "MIS-TER J! MIS-TER J!" Soon the whole bus is shouting- "MIS-TER J! MIS-TER J! I swear, I couldn't BELIEVE it! All I did was treat them the way I'd treat my grandkids! Next day, driver is back. I overheard her telling another driver- "Yeah, I'm back to driving the little "Demon Shits" again." There was NOTHING bad or wrong about her kids! She should NEVER have been a driver. She had only been on the job about 3 months, was gone about a month later. Good riddance! This job is a good fit for me, but it's NOT for everybody!
Not every driver is suited to be with children. The junior high and high school buses seem to always have a few bad apples ...v rough. 10 year olds and 11 year olds there are a few who punch ..bully and are down right mean . It only takes a few to create havoc. A nasty driver with attitude problems obviously doesnt want to be driving children. Bus monitors like hall monitors are very much needed.
@@lindamahrer7067 What's a bus monitor going to do? A bus monitor might help the driver keep his or her mind on the safe operation of the bus, because the driver can't do two things at once!
@@stanleydavison8428 Have you ever worked in education ? Outside activities and bus trips as well. Actually, if two adults are on board a driver and teacher. All that is necessary is to stand ..walk over and tell the individuals to settle down. It is a term called REDIRECTING and it is most effective. Elementary level is rarely a serious problem...Junior High and High School the youth realize with another adult there will be consequence. For the most part they are settled.
I'm a driver of 18 years. We NEVER speak to parents like that even if we think we're in the right. In a scenario like this, I would have reassured the parent that I will be sure that their children are treated fairly and with the utmost care. Parents are your allies when you need help with discipline should it become necessary. This attitude not only undermines that trust but also could make you the target of tighter scrutiny by the employer. You could be undermining your own job security, This driver needs that scrutiny.
@Roundabout Way I understand how you feel. As much as one might sympathize with the driver, it's the training and discipline of each driver that sets the standard for everything else that takes place on the bus. It is paramount to maintain respect between the driver and the parents. Being a disciplined driver is what separates the professionals from the amateurs and the employed from the unemployed. Cheers.
@Roundabout Way After driving for 18 years I've seen a lot. My comments have been about staying calm and professional. Parents usually come around and ultimately respect that professionalism and courtesy. Cooler heads do prevail. I know there are problems with discipline in many schools. I've had to stand my ground with the administration in my district and threatened to quit before. Fortunately, my concerns were addressed and things worked out to my satisfaction. Schools in the larger cities seem to have the worst problems. I serve in a small town and things are at least somewhat different here. It's sad that politics has such a large role in education, especially in the area of discipline. I hope and pray that things go well for you. Blessings.
@Roundabout Way I've been thinking about what you have been saying today. I believe I have been responding and not really hearing the anguish and stress you have been trying to express. I apologize. I forget that not every teacher or member of the support staff has it as good as some others. You're correct, there are definitely problems in today's educational system. You and I are among many who see the problems and know what is lacking. Trying to get changes made is very difficult and at times seems impossible. Sometimes we need someone to listen to us and not have them be combative or judgmental. I think I came across as that at least a bit. All I can say is hang in there. I wish you the best and hope things get better. Thank you for serving.
@Roundabout Way FACTS! That "parent" should RESPECT the driver as another ADULT. Who's she screaming at? She's not talking to a child. A RESPECTFUL approach may have elicited a respectful RESPONSE. You get back what you give out! Apparently, she does not discipline those kids at home and doesn't want anyone else to discipline them--including teachers. She'll get hers one day as they get older.
Drivers have to yell to be heard. Buses are noisey, especially with 20 kids all talking and laughing at the same time. Bus drivers should call out names if they know who's causing a ruckus. But since they can't drive while looking in the rvm, they chastise the entire group. The rules are to sit quietly in your seat. Whisper-talk only. No rough play. Parents driving with screaming kids in the back seat should know how frustrating it would be trying to drive a bus full of kids, all fighting, yelling, and throwing things. If her kids didn't do anything, they shouldn't feel upset. If they got yelled at, then maybe they were breaking rules. I tell my kids to talk to the principal or VP first. Then, if that doesn't work, I will talk to the principal.
@@danielberg7644 Teachers teach and so do bus drivers. Bus drivers run a tight ship and it's their responsibility as well as the schools to teach students bus safety rules. Students violating the rules will be disciplined accordingly, which can lead to losing bus riding privileges either temporarily or permanently.
I was a kid on a bus. I remember how the kids were. I'm sure they are no different. In fact, a kid was allegedly raped on a bus recently. You want the bus driver to stop yelling at your kids? Teach them to stop behaving like animals. My brother became a bus driver in the city of Buffalo.. On the second day, he told a kid that he didnt behave, he'd be banned from the bus. On the third day, the father came to the bus and threatened to kill my brother. There was no forth day. The kids and parents are worse than animals.
I wouldn't put my kids on the bus if it is such an issue, until the issue was resolved. Not to mention the fact that she kinda poked the bear with the comment please don't yell at my kid sas soon as the doors open. You can't mess with crazy, but you can avoid it.
Agree. Numbers of them don't even respect their teachers these days, left alone bus drivers or janitors, lunch ladies.. 😌 it takes only 1 bad kid to drive the situations out of hand!
Nobody owes district employees anything. If you don’t like it, vote to abolish all schools and every person can get back all the tax dollars they spend “educating” kids.
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 you're such a bad narcissist, a potential harmful LONER, who screams evry where every time: "it's ALL ABOUT ME & MY FEW TAX DOLLARS blah blah blah.." 😌 Pathetic! I'm glad you dont have company or kids, or else they'd be miserable living with such a psychopathic narcissist! Your employer should be alerted as well!
I'm a bus driver for over 5 years. Like any vocation, there are some drivers that are not great at student management. That said, if you haven't driven a school bus, especially these days, I think you would be shocked at the amount of bad behavior and verbal abuse from the kids, and some of the parents as well. If any of you have driven a car with a few kids being loud, physically bouncing around, NOT wearing seatbelts and you're driving in heavy traffic, you know how stressful that can be. Now, increase that number to 50+ kids in a 40' bus and do it every day. The response from this one driver was not good, yet, the way the mother approached the driver was inflammatory too. Remember the ol' saying about not judging someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Maybe this Mom should become a bus driver, we're in very short supply all across this nation. I wonder why??
Yes bus drivers shouldn't yell at kids for no reason but experience tells me that the crap bus drivers deal with is disgusting and parent don't teach or take responsibility for their kids behavior. I think they should have videos on all busses so parents can see what jerks there kids are.
I am a bus driver and the only reason I would yell at the kids would be if they are distracting to me or ignore my rules. Some children disregard authority because they think that the driver can’t do anything about it. Drivers priority is to keep the children safe.
If your kids get yelled at there is a reason. Stop raising entitled little Karens! I love that bus driver and hope she wasn’t fired. All of my bus drivers yelled at us and when we told our moms our moms backed them up. Told us that’s what we get for acting like idiots.
I need more information.If kids are being yelled at it's probably because they're doing something unsafe.Did the parent actually have a conversation with the driver or just the snarky comment.I wouldn't be too happy either.
I rode on several school buses in the 1980s in alachua county and other than dealing with the stress of other drivers on the road the bus drivers were always cool and fun to the kids
There should be cameras on all buses that can be viewed by anyone anytime. If any bus driver misbehaves, he/she should be held accountable; if a child misbehaves, he/she and their parents should be held accountable.
I drive a school bus. The driver was very nasty, rude and unprofessional. Now, I will say..I yell. However that is bc of the engine as well as 40+ children screaming and its so ppl can hear me speaking too. NEVER IN A MEAN/RUDE WAY, NEVER. It is very important for all passengers (I carry adults as well) to listen to the driver. I personally do not like to be recorded, I can't record you.. however I keep great communication w my passengers as well as their parents and school officials! We/The drivers are not ALWAYS wrong! Some parents may not have gone through the training as I have. And please stop for school buses when you see yellow lights..IT COULD BE YOUR CHILD GETTING ON OR OFF!
You say- "We/The drivers are not ALWAYS wrong!" I'm a driver, too. You obviously have forgotten the 2 PRIMARY rules about bus drivers & our bosses. RULE #1- "When something bad happens, It is ALWAYS the driver's fault!" RULE #2- "When something bad happens, and there is IRON CLAD PROOF it wasn't due to the driver, see rule #1."
Edit: thoroughly read this post before you misinterpret it. I won’t respond to trolls! Now, HS kids or MS kids, maybe if they’re boarding rowdy. ES kid yelling is only for those moments when the bus gets rowdy rowdy. In which, you show the highest level of concern that could impair the driver. That driver messed up. Key sentence, that driver messed up! Note: some buses used to have cameras. Most of time, when the video is shown and we display the reason why we had to yell. Parents would understand; safety is jeopardized when a bus gets rowdy. This only applies if kids are standing up, yelling and throwing things. Heavy note: IF YOUR CHILD IS BAD! STOP TAKING UP FOR YOUR BAD CHILD. PARENT YOUR CHILD AND STOP BEING THEIR FRIEND! And every year, there’s always that one parent who had PTSD from being a bad child and cannot stand authority. See your good and respectful self in that child, not your bad side. Correct yourself, before we have to!
I saw the video and the way she reacted to the mom yelling at her kids led me to believe that she just did it because she’s a figure of authority and picked on little kids. I had this one bus driver who would pick on special needs kids including myself and got to keep his job. If a young child is doing something they aren’t supposed to on the bus there are better ways to handle it
Yes, the driver was wrong to react that way, I agree. There are 2 sides to every story and there are video cameras on the bus ask to see me if, you might be surprised at what some of “these kids” do. In fact, you’d be shocked.
@@julierohr2920 ah yes, 3 random little kids are causing so much havoc that the bus driver has to act like that. they’re KIDS. they aren’t just gonna be mature mini adults. don’t take a job involving kids if you have a short temper, it’s not that hard of a concept to understand
I disagree. I see an adult who is treated like garbage daily and has probably tried getting help with unruly kids and then a rude mom running up with a camera accosting her as an abuser and she snapped.
@@GRIMES16 There are many kids on that bus the mom failed to understand maybe are causing a problem. And her kids are too soft to understand that getting grouped yelled at is often the only way for an adult to control a situation and think it is personal. "Bus driver yelling at me" Mom failed to do any homework on the situation and ran up with accusations. Bogus and rude.
Do you know how terrible the kids are on the bus!!? They keep yelling, arguing, and standing, and they call the drivers horrible names. The driver is supposed to do her job while keeping our kids safe! So the least we could do is teach our kids to behave on the bus, and not disturb the driver instead of telling the driver not to yell!!!! Parents are so stupid these days that they don't teach the kids to be respectful. They only teach them how to rebel 🙄
if your response to that is defensive then you are clearly yelling at the kids. i mean you just yelled at the mom. someone who DOSENT abuse children would say "why would you get that idea?" or "i will raise my voice appropriately when the children are disruptive". not "YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH".
It doesn't give the school bus driver to act unprofessional towards their students the bus driver should handle it in a nice way and write up the student who breaks the rules the bus driver needs to set an example on how kids to behave not the other around but on the other I saw the driver flip off the mom not professional behavior ok .
@@acethedriver2895 lol I spoke nicely to my student and didn’t even yell at them. But either way ended up being called a bitch by them. Them acting up on the bus. Bringing their friends on the bus. School doesn’t do anything. Oh well. Now the only thing you can do to show authority is yelling.
I just want to relate, I am a school bus driver, and her responce to that parent was wrong, and she should be disciplined for it, but on the other side of the issue, the mother that she wanted her to show respect to her kids, now if her kids show respect to the bus driver, then sure she should show respect back, but there are a lot of students out there that have not been taught by their parents to respect the ones in authority, and they're the ones that make the situation difficult, and frustrate the drivers.
Like most kids, hers are probably brats as well. So go ahead, yell at them, kick them off the bus, while the bus is going. Whatever it takes, so the children will listen
I went to kindergarten in 1971. We had tough bus drivers back then who did not take crap but they were not inappropriate or cruel. I remember my first bus driver yelling at this kid named Karl who was always standing up every day. She’d be driving down the road and she’d see Karl in the rear view mirror and she’d yell, “Sit down, Karl!” She never denigrated or scared the kids. Our other bus driver was a vet with a buzz cut. He actually died driving the school bus. He had an unexpected heart attack but was able to pull over. Our bus drivers had our respect and they didn’t let things go nuts, but we weren’t expected to sit with our hands in our laps and say nothing. My kids are grown now but had an issue with our kids’ elementary school bus driver. Our neighborhood kids were picked up in a church parking lot behind my house due to heavy traffic. I would stand in my backyard or kitchen and watch them. If the bus driver had called the school and gotten a message to us parents saying he wanted the kids lined up when he got there I would have made sure they did it. They’d see him come from the far side of the lot abd they’d run and line up. I never saw him waiting. One cold winter day they weren’t lined up, so he cursed them and shut the door in their faces and drove away, leaving them in the parking lot. I and one other parent who just happened to be the only parents who hadn’t left for work, had to load up all the kids whose parents had no idea they had been left (the elementary school kids didn’t have cell phones or a way to contact parents) and take them to school. I called the bus barn and they talked to the driver and they justified him leaving kids behind because they weren’t lined up. I was so mad because they hadn’t communicated it to any parent that there was a problem so we could deal with it. What if no parents were home and all the kids were locked out of their houses? I found it strange they would expect that kind of discipline yet they had allowed my kindergarten age daughter to be bullied and hit on the bus and they wouldn’t kick the bully off the bus so we had to take her off until the kid went to middle school. I was the kind of parent who made my kids take responsibility and I wasn’t a complainer. I had 6 kids ride the bus and the two times I had serious problems the supervisors sided with the driver despite the driver leaving kids which is nuts! It’s that old adage two wrongs don’t make a right. And the bus driver was an adult with a responsibility that he abdicated without any warning to parents or students. Some of those kids were scared and crying because they didn’t know how they would get to school or what they’d do until I stepped in with comfort and help.
I could only make it yelling at Karl. Lol There is something you must understand. Kids today are so soft that even yelling "Sit down Rainbow!" would cause them to cry and accuse the driver of abuse and moms accosting with TikTok.
@@C.Church True. I’ve heard the schools in some states can’t even kick out the violent kids because the parents come to the school and make a fuss. Teachers and bus drivers are getting assaulted everyday because kids know their parents will let them get away with it. I saw a video of a girl and her mom who attacked a school bus driver. The mom was waiting at the stop after school and jumped on the bus. I assume she had to wait until the afternoon because she couldn’t be bothered to roll on out of bed. I would love to go back to the days when the worst thing that happened on the bus was good old Karl standing up. I look back and we all thought Karl was the naughtiest boy in class and on the bus, and he was, but he was really very tame, just a bit hyper and had trouble sitting still. There are a lot of things that have changed since the 70’s and I’m sure several of them have had a direct result on the way children behave or should I say misbehave.
My bus driver was the sweetest lady ever! She went to our church, she knew my parents well. My sisters and I just loved Mrs. Hunsucker! I'm 51 years old and I still remember her name.❤ This bus driver in the video did not hesitate to yell at a parent, so of course she yelled at the children when parents weren't around. It sounds like her children were intimidated and scared of the driver. I'm glad the district removed the grumpy lady off her children's bus route.
Most bus drivers are chill af. There's always some bad apples, just like any other professions like police, teachers, doctors.. But for 99% of the time, if u give them respect before hands, they won't make it hard for you, unless you're soliciting for favors..
There is a whole list of concerns I have with this video about the driver but I also am not letting the mother off Scott free. The comment was made in a backhanded passive aggressive tone that was meant to push the drivers buttons. If you were being sincere, why would you open a conversation that she says she only wanted to get resolved with “please don’t yell at my kids today” and of all things didn’t have the decency to pull the kids off the bus when she realized the bus driver started reacting like a total lunatic. Mom wanted to argue and she picked a fight with a bad news bear and got told off. Now the driver needs to be held accountable for that rapid door slam and drive off without knowing if the kids were seated or checking her mirrors.
Being a school bus driver is very hard job and not to be taken lightly. I will gladly listen to any concern a parent has about me or the bus. As a bus driver I think to how I was as a child riding the bus everyday and how I felt. I apply that to how I deal with the children on my bus and it helps. But I also show these children that their safety, well being and get the safely to school and home to their parents everyday is my number one priority when they are on my bus. This really helps me with the more energetic elementary school children.
I’m a bus driver now. And I always end up yelling because there are so many kids that walking around my bus. Or start doing other things. I mean you can’t help it. Either that or they walk all over you. Sometimes the school doesn’t do anything either.
Poor kids, this seems like something simple, but an adult talking to you like that really affects your self steem and changes your entire day, I experienced that as a child and it was just awful, the only thing you want to do at moments like these is never see that person again but these kids have to see her every day
The mother in this video handled this completely wrong. Don’t come up to my bus videoing me and tell me not to yell at your kids. That alone would’ve put me on the defensive, I would’ve told her to call my supervisor, shut the door and drove away. If there were an issue she should’ve called the transportation dept. I’m not defending the drivers actions either. She should’ve told the mom to call her boss. I do however understand why she got defensive. Teach your kid to video everything and come at people with that tone in your voice lady, good example. There are more mature ways to handle this situation without video, attitude, and in front of a bus load of children.
Nah man our teachers pulled us by the ears, hit us with yardsticks. You know why? Because we needed it! Parents bubble wrapping their kids, WOW they are gonna get hit with reality as soon as they get out of P school
This "parent," and I'm using the term very loosely, needs to CHASTISE her KIDS and NOT another ADULT. She needs to find out what her kids are doing and correct them. It sounds like she wants to ignore what they are doing like she does when they are AT HOME. Well, they are NOT at home, and the bus driver is responsible for more than just HER kids. The bus driver needs order and discipline to operate the bus SAFELY. She does NOT need any distractions from kids who don't know how to act. Additionally, their bad behavior is being REINFORCED because this "parent" is supporting them when they are WRONG. This is a good example of why we don't have enough qualified teachers or bus drivers. They have to take too much ABUSE from BAD parents, SORRY administrators, and BAD kids. The bus driver's job is to transport the children SAFELY, not RAISE somebody's kids. I PERSONALLY know a school bus driver. He stated that when he QUIT, it was the BEST thing that had happened to him!🧐
I'm sure this is not the whole story..... SMH if the bus driver yells at the kids every day I'm sure them little angels are doing something wrong! How to correct this problem is to have every bus with an bus Aid or just drive them angels to school yourself. Ikr
If they looked at the video they would have to see most likely how bad the kids are probably behaving. The school busses have gotten out of control - Not condoning how this driver is acting but she is probably at her wits end. I was a sub and quit because the ONLY recourse you have is write ups. The schools have gotten into using "behavior modification" and will flat out tell you "we are not in the business of disciplining kids, we are in the business of positive encouragement and the MOST important thing is keeping EVERY body in the class rooms" I was driving a rout where I was BEGGING the kids to behave. Pencils flying thru the air, kids spitting , girls up in the isle twirking, kids crawling under the seats, kids playing tug of war across the isle and flying into the seat while you are going down the road. Every write up was the same "we talked to them and they promised to do better" However, when the camera is pulled they want to know WHY you are allowing the kids to act that way. If you are writing the kids up and nothing is being done, you are pulling the bus over and trying to explain to the kids how dangerous it is for them to throw pencils and they just look at you and return to the action a few seconds after you pull off. OR better yet you get called into the office because you upset little Sally and scared her when you told the bus they could loose an eye throwing stuff like that and how dare you scare Sally with facts. Yeah I would not recommend ANYONE become a bus driver with to days kids and the way the schools run.
The way the mother approached the bus driver wasn’t right. Talking about “don’t yell at my kids today” and expecting a proper response to that? Eff off! You take it to the authorities and have them survey them to see why the bus driver even have to yell at your kids for.
I have never driven children, but I drove a city bus. A few points to consider are: buses are very loud. There is no such talking at a normal volume over a diesel engine. No one can hear you. The driver has a schedule to make. She is in charge of a bus and paying attention to the road and operating the mechanics. There is no way to respond to a comment like that and resolve it on schedule. It is out-of-pocket and condescending. If she has a comment to make, talk to the company or schedule a time to meet after hours. I might be alone, here, but I think that kids are too sensitive. I do not believe that there is anything the driver can say that should make them cry. The driver is making less than $20 an hour to spare that b-tc- a 5 minute drive. She doesn’t deserve any “driving Miss Daisy” crap or ire to do the job that YOU WON’T. Please, grow-up and look in the mirror. Thanks. Respectfully,
If the mom had a problem with the bus driver, she should’ve taken it up with the transportation department. Having a confrontation with the school bus driver in front of all the kids is not appropriate. It makes her just as bad as the school bus driver. I’ve also found out through the years that one persons Idea of what yelling is is sometimes vastly different than what another persons version of yelling is.
Parent needs to try driving a school bus for a few weeks. Walk a mile in her shoes. Also it seems parent had no intention of getting to the heart of the problem. Instead acted like the driver should be subservient.
to be honest the mom is the one instigating this incident. if you have a problem, be a grownup about it and dont pick petty fights in front of your kids. just got to the school about it. if you're kids are constantly getting yelled out, they're probably misbehaving......
I am a substitute teacher and a certified school counselor. Been at at for a while. Over the years I've been called names that are highly insulting, taken advantage of, and lied to more times than I can count. This is a wonderful teaching tool for people in my line of work. Most kids I work with are very respectful, and understand that I'm in charge in their regular teacher's absence. Other kids have an ingrained belief that you are nothing more than a babysitter with little authority and take every opportunity they can to antagonize you, bend the rules, and take their sweet time at the bathroom, even you calmly explain to them that that behavior is dangerous because it jeopardizes their safety in case of an emergency that you are in charge of. Needless to say, it's rough out there. I have a hard time believing that a bus driver would just yell at a kid without being provoked by some sort of misbehavior. I don't blame the mother for being protective of her kids. However, I can't help but think that this confrontation was premeditated on the mother's part because she didn't like the response she got from the school, or was too impatient to go above their heads to the superintendent or school board to set up a meeting where a workable solution to this problem could have been found. Sometimes you can't reason with people even if you think you're in the right. The bus driver could have kept her cool and denied everything in a levelheaded manner. Unfortunately, the driver responded exactly the way the mother wanted her to, which justified her kid's claims and allowed her to be the victim and the hero. Respect is a two-way street and is earned not given. Common ground can be achieved in a way in which an equitable solution for all can be achieved, but are we willing to put the time and sacrifice necessary to achieve a fair outcome for all?
The bus driver’s response to the mother is very telling. I’m convinced that the driver definitely yelled at the children. Glad she was taken off the route
If she yelled at the PARENT like that, oh you better believe she is yelling at those kids the SAME way! She was angry bc she got called out.
Your brats need yelling at!
YES!
nah. kids are little shits on the bus. sometimes they need to be yelled at.

@@tasha3939 my thoughts exactly.
I don’t know why she continued to send her kids on that bus.
Knew a bus driver once who would take his newspaper with him and when the kids got too rowdy, he would pull over in a safe spot, read his paper, and tell the kids that when they settled down enough for him to drive safely he would continue his drive to get them home. The rest of the kids who wanted to get home and have their snacks and get to play used peer pressure to get the bad kids to stop. It worked like a charm, nobody wanted to be "that kid" who held up the bus.
that doesn't work anymore because the bus driver will actually get in trouble for encouraging bullying.
@@aaronowen4425 Our district actually expects the driver to pull over and stop if things are getting out of hand on the bus. If things get too unruly, law enforcement can be requested over the radio as well. We have had students removed by school personnel, police officers or Sheriffs Deputies over the years. Parents usually understand delays because they want their kids to be safe on the bus.
@@jameydenison2045 Oh definitely, The bus driver can pull the bus over and sit on the side of the road (on their own time of course, if they have a second job to get to that becomes problematic) I had problems with a kid that was a shuttle kid, pulled over - the police were called, also the principle of the school the kid went to came out to the sight and my supervisor also came. My rout was in the boonies so after all was said and done I and the kids sat on the bus for probably 35 or 40 min. only to be told to continue the rout and if I had any more trouble to call them again LOL the icing on the cake was where I pulled over was basically the last part of my rout that I had CB/cellphone service reception. I tell you what would solve the problem is if the kids were EXPECTED to act right on the bus and if the punishment for misbehaving was severe enough to denture further bad action. Schools have implemented the - PBIS Behavior intervention programs and they are nothing but a disaster and a joke.
@@aaronowen4425 Yeah, I know, it's difficult sometimes. But there are challenges in every profession. You just have to decide whether you have the hutzpah to stay with it or find another occupation. My time may come in the future, who knows.?
@@jameydenison2045 oh I definitely stayed with it - after 28 1/2 years I hung my hat up back in January - I had planned on trying to make 30 years but in the last 5 years it has snowballed into a job I would not recommend anyone going into. The schools WILL NOT back the drivers and there is no discipline for the kids. I will leave it with I highly recommend not going into the school field if a person is looking for a job. I shudder to see what it will be in another 5 - 10 years with the way things are progressing.
the lady demonstrated that she is 100% guilty by screaming at the mother.
Exactly
You could become a lawyer but not a judge. Sorry.
my mom was a driver for over 25 years. if the kids got out of hand or someone was picking on someone else or she suspected damage being done to the bus, she'd pull off the side of the road, look up in the mirror with her infamous one eyebrow up until it got quiet and then ask if everybody was ready to continue. kids loved her. parents loved her. I loved her......eyebrow and all.
your mom sounds like a real cool badass❤
I do the one eyebrow thing.

I believe we need to have cameras an audio on every school bus. I know how rowdy and terrible kids can be on a school bus.
There is…
The majority of schools already have that. Apparently all that tax money used to add the technology to the buses was a waste, bc the only time they seem to get reviewed is when something terrible happens that is obvious to all, like a wreck. These routes need to be monitored routinely and I guarantee you there’d be plenty of parent volunteers ready to review them.

@@povertylevelphilanthropy1524 nope. Parents hate to volunteer for anything: making copies day, help with selling ice cream, chaperoning etc now imagine pulling tapes everyday for no reason out of 700+ buses for 2 or 3 routes AM/PM.

Some old buses (at least on my area) dont have mics to talk to kids so some might yell to be listened by kids on the back. My bus has a mic and I easily talk to my kids. I know all my kids names, they sit on assigned seat and i encourage well behavior. Some kids management classes are a plus for all bus drivers.

What worries me is she didn’t check her rear view to make sure the kids were in a seat before taking off in a huff. Which brings me to the fact is that she drove off in a huff aka road rage.

If she's yelling at the kids, they must have done something!
As a school bus driver myself I came here thinking this was a difficult parent then the moment that driver started talking I knew what type of person it was. I feel bad for some kids on a couple routes where I work cuz the drivers are more like prison guards.
I also thought the mom was going to be wrong, but after this response, the bus driver is probably a bully.
Who cares if the driver acts like a prison guard if your kids are safe? The school bus is NOT a pleasure cruise. It's priority is safe transportation. Your snot nosed brats can sit there and shut up. If they can't handle that then drive them yourself! SMH!
you must not get the little shits on your bus.
Interesting how everyone else in the comments is fanatically supporting the driver and attacking the kids. I must be one of the unlucky few who had bad bus drivers in my day. One was like her and would always favor the bad kids and it’s just like being in the school already. There is no escaping the torment of public school.
If them kids get on bus ...sit quietly why would she yell at them? Doesn't add up.
I'm a school bus driver in Massachusetts. Parents talk a lot about safety, but these people are the worst drivers on the school grounds. They allow their small kids to hang out windows, the sunroof, run around while mom is on the phone, and another parent is upset because the car infront of her stopped for the flashing red lights on the school bus. Mom's are the absolute worst.
Years ago, not being sure if the driver was at fault or my child, I very kindly offered to sit on the bus next to my child for a week. Both my child and the bus driver stopped complaining. 😄
My mom did this if my teacher reported I was talking too much. (I’m now 50 years old and that’s the worst thing I ever did). My mother didn’t say anything nasty to the teacher. She just quietly sat in the back of the classroom. I stopped talking out of turn. 😊
That's how adults supposed to handle situations! The mom in this video is an idiotic narcissist it seems.. 😌 provoking & accusing & filming the driver while still letting her children get on the bus.. 🤦♀️🤦♂️
Thank you for handling that situation that way!
Taking initiative and solving the problem!
I'm a driver for JCPS (Louisville). A couple of years ago I was sent to substitute for a driver who was out sick. I spoke with the kids (Elementary school), told them I'd never driven this route before, I may ask for help, hoped I'd give them a smooth ride. "OK! Let's go home!" After a couple of stops, some kids were asking if I'd stay and drive them every day. "No, I'm pretty sure it's just for today." A few of them start chanting my name- "MIS-TER J! MIS-TER J!" Soon the whole bus is shouting- "MIS-TER J! MIS-TER J! I swear, I couldn't BELIEVE it! All I did was treat them the way I'd treat my grandkids!
Next day, driver is back. I overheard her telling another driver- "Yeah, I'm back to driving the little "Demon Shits" again."
There was NOTHING bad or wrong about her kids! She should NEVER have been a driver. She had only been on the job about 3 months, was gone about a month later. Good riddance!
This job is a good fit for me, but it's NOT for everybody!
Mister J!!! MISTER J!!!! LOVE IT!!!❤
@@rockon8174 Thanks!!
Not every driver is suited to be with children. The junior high and high school buses seem to always have a few bad apples ...v rough. 10 year olds and 11 year olds there are a few who punch ..bully and are down right mean . It only takes a few to create havoc. A nasty driver with attitude problems obviously doesnt want to be driving children. Bus monitors like hall monitors are very much needed.
@@lindamahrer7067 What's a bus monitor going to do? A bus monitor might help the driver keep his or her mind on the safe operation of the bus, because the driver can't do two things at once!
@@stanleydavison8428 Have you ever worked in education ? Outside activities and bus trips as well. Actually, if two adults are on board a driver and teacher. All that is necessary is to stand ..walk over and tell the individuals to settle down. It is a term called REDIRECTING and it is most effective. Elementary level is rarely a serious problem...Junior High and High School the youth realize with another adult
there will be consequence. For the most part they are settled.
I'm a driver of 18 years. We NEVER speak to parents like that even if we think we're in the right. In a scenario like this, I would have reassured the parent that I will be sure that their children are treated fairly and with the utmost care. Parents are your allies when you need help with discipline should it become necessary. This attitude not only undermines that trust but also could make you the target of tighter scrutiny by the employer. You could be undermining your own job security, This driver needs that scrutiny.
@Roundabout Way I understand how you feel. As much as one might sympathize with the driver, it's the training and discipline of each driver that sets the standard for everything else that takes place on the bus. It is paramount to maintain respect between the driver and the parents. Being a disciplined driver is what separates the professionals from the amateurs and the employed from the unemployed. Cheers.
@Roundabout Way After driving for 18 years I've seen a lot. My comments have been about staying calm and professional. Parents usually come around and ultimately respect that professionalism and courtesy. Cooler heads do prevail. I know there are problems with discipline in many schools. I've had to stand my ground with the administration in my district and threatened to quit before. Fortunately, my concerns were addressed and things worked out to my satisfaction. Schools in the larger cities seem to have the worst problems. I serve in a small town and things are at least somewhat different here. It's sad that politics has such a large role in education, especially in the area of discipline. I hope and pray that things go well for you. Blessings.
@Roundabout Way I've been thinking about what you have been saying today. I believe I have been responding and not really hearing the anguish and stress you have been trying to express. I apologize. I forget that not every teacher or member of the support staff has it as good as some others. You're correct, there are definitely problems in today's educational system. You and I are among many who see the problems and know what is lacking. Trying to get changes made is very difficult and at times seems impossible. Sometimes we need someone to listen to us and not have them be combative or judgmental. I think I came across as that at least a bit. All I can say is hang in there. I wish you the best and hope things get better. Thank you for serving.
@Roundabout Way FACTS! That "parent" should RESPECT the driver as another ADULT. Who's she screaming at? She's not talking to a child. A RESPECTFUL approach may have elicited a respectful RESPONSE. You get back what you give out! Apparently, she does not discipline those kids at home and doesn't want anyone else to discipline them--including teachers. She'll get hers one day as they get older.
Thing is parents are not disciplining children anymore.
Drivers have to yell to be heard. Buses are noisey, especially with 20 kids all talking and laughing at the same time. Bus drivers should call out names if they know who's causing a ruckus. But since they can't drive while looking in the rvm, they chastise the entire group. The rules are to sit quietly in your seat. Whisper-talk only. No rough play. Parents driving with screaming kids in the back seat should know how frustrating it would be trying to drive a bus full of kids, all fighting, yelling, and throwing things. If her kids didn't do anything, they shouldn't feel upset. If they got yelled at, then maybe they were breaking rules. I tell my kids to talk to the principal or VP first. Then, if that doesn't work, I will talk to the principal.
I wouldn't let my kids on the bus after an exchange like that. I can't believe still let the kids ride 😅
Maybe she had to got to work. She needed the bus transportation. Don't judge the Mom.
@@candysmith8724 We all have to go work but my children's safety come first no matter what. Not judging her I just find it unbelievable.

My bus driver was a retired Vietnam vet. Yeah, he would yell at us because we wouldn't sit down and shut up. Kids do not behave on the bus.
The golden rule would definitely apply here. Give respect, you get respect. Kids need to be politely reminded a thousand times.
@@danielberg7644 Teachers teach and so do bus drivers. Bus drivers run a tight ship and it's their responsibility as well as the schools to teach students bus safety rules. Students violating the rules will be disciplined accordingly, which can lead to losing bus riding privileges either temporarily or permanently.
@@wturner777 there's a difference between discipline and being a lunatic.
@@DeepCurve300lmao
I’m sure with the hostile attitude she had with the mom, that plenty of yelling has gone on.
I was a kid on a bus. I remember how the kids were. I'm sure they are no different. In fact, a kid was allegedly raped on a bus recently. You want the bus driver to stop yelling at your kids? Teach them to stop behaving like animals. My brother became a bus driver in the city of Buffalo.. On the second day, he told a kid that he didnt behave, he'd be banned from the bus. On the third day, the father came to the bus and threatened to kill my brother. There was no forth day. The kids and parents are worse than animals.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mom started it. She didn't need to start
I wouldn't put my kids on the bus if it is such an issue, until the issue was resolved. Not to mention the fact that she kinda poked the bear with the comment please don't yell at my kid sas soon as the doors open. You can't mess with crazy, but you can avoid it.
Being a bus driver is very stressful. A lot of moms dont understand that their kids behave like brats.
Agree. Numbers of them don't even respect their teachers these days, left alone bus drivers or janitors, lunch ladies.. 😌 it takes only 1 bad kid to drive the situations out of hand!
So true 💯
Nobody owes district employees anything. If you don’t like it, vote to abolish all schools and every person can get back all the tax dollars they spend “educating” kids.
Doesn’t give you a right to fucking be verbally abusive to someone’s kids
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 you're such a bad narcissist, a potential harmful LONER, who screams evry where every time: "it's ALL ABOUT ME & MY FEW TAX DOLLARS blah blah blah.." 😌 Pathetic! I'm glad you dont have company or kids, or else they'd be miserable living with such a psychopathic narcissist! Your employer should be alerted as well!
I'm a bus driver for over 5 years. Like any vocation, there are some drivers that are not great at student management. That said, if you haven't driven a school bus, especially these days, I think you would be shocked at the amount of bad behavior and verbal abuse from the kids, and some of the parents as well. If any of you have driven a car with a few kids being loud, physically bouncing around, NOT wearing seatbelts and you're driving in heavy traffic, you know how stressful that can be. Now, increase that number to 50+ kids in a 40' bus and do it every day. The response from this one driver was not good, yet, the way the mother approached the driver was inflammatory too. Remember the ol' saying about not judging someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Maybe this Mom should become a bus driver, we're in very short supply all across this nation. I wonder why??
Yes bus drivers shouldn't yell at kids for no reason but experience tells me that the crap bus drivers deal with is disgusting and parent don't teach or take responsibility for their kids behavior. I think they should have videos on all busses so parents can see what jerks there kids are.
Teachers and bus drivers are untouchable.
The parent should go drive a school bus and see how disrespectful the kids are to drivers.
I am a bus driver and the only reason I would yell at the kids would be if they are distracting to me or ignore my rules. Some children disregard authority because they think that the driver can’t do anything about it. Drivers priority is to keep the children safe.
But how do the kids behave on the bus? How much abuse has the bus driver endured to that point?
If your kids get yelled at there is a reason.
Stop raising entitled little Karens!
I love that bus driver and hope she wasn’t fired.
All of my bus drivers yelled at us and when we told our moms our moms backed them up.
Told us that’s what we get for acting like idiots.
I need more information.If kids are being yelled at it's probably because they're doing something unsafe.Did the parent actually have a conversation with the driver or just the snarky comment.I wouldn't be too happy either.
I rode on several school buses in the 1980s in alachua county and other than dealing with the stress of other drivers on the road the bus drivers were always cool and fun to the kids
I can’t believe that the bus driver gave the mom the middle finger.
There should be cameras on all buses that can be viewed by anyone anytime. If any bus driver misbehaves, he/she should be held accountable; if a child misbehaves, he/she and their parents should be held accountable.
That would be extremely dangerous it would make it alot easier for predators to target kids if the footage could be veiwed by anyone.
I drive a school bus. The driver was very nasty, rude and unprofessional. Now, I will say..I yell. However that is bc of the engine as well as 40+ children screaming and its so ppl can hear me speaking too. NEVER IN A MEAN/RUDE WAY, NEVER. It is very important for all passengers (I carry adults as well) to listen to the driver. I personally do not like to be recorded, I can't record you.. however I keep great communication w my passengers as well as their parents and school officials! We/The drivers are not ALWAYS wrong! Some parents may not have gone through the training as I have. And please stop for school buses when you see yellow lights..IT COULD BE YOUR CHILD GETTING ON OR OFF!
If anything being recorded should mean backing off but they tend to dig their own hole deeper
You say- "We/The drivers are not ALWAYS wrong!"
I'm a driver, too. You obviously have forgotten the 2 PRIMARY rules about bus drivers & our bosses.
RULE #1- "When something bad happens, It is ALWAYS the driver's fault!"
RULE #2- "When something bad happens, and there is IRON CLAD PROOF it wasn't due to the driver, see rule #1."
It's been seen 30 million times and more. I think we're past the point of blurring her face.
Broke local news station afraid of lawsuit that would probably be dismissed.
Edit: thoroughly read this post before you misinterpret it. I won’t respond to trolls!
Now, HS kids or MS kids, maybe if they’re boarding rowdy. ES kid yelling is only for those moments when the bus gets rowdy rowdy. In which, you show the highest level of concern that could impair the driver. That driver messed up. Key sentence, that driver messed up!
Note: some buses used to have cameras. Most of time, when the video is shown and we display the reason why we had to yell. Parents would understand; safety is jeopardized when a bus gets rowdy. This only applies if kids are standing up, yelling and throwing things.
Heavy note: IF YOUR CHILD IS BAD! STOP TAKING UP FOR YOUR BAD CHILD. PARENT YOUR CHILD AND STOP BEING THEIR FRIEND! And every year, there’s always that one parent who had PTSD from being a bad child and cannot stand authority. See your good and respectful self in that child, not your bad side. Correct yourself, before we have to!
The fog atmosphere in that bus driver video makes me think that the bus driver actually came from hell.
I saw the video and the way she reacted to the mom yelling at her kids led me to believe that she just did it because she’s a figure of authority and picked on little kids. I had this one bus driver who would pick on special needs kids including myself and got to keep his job. If a young child is doing something they aren’t supposed to on the bus there are better ways to handle it
Hopefully he was reported. Absolutely sickening what these drivers can do
Yes, the driver was wrong to react that way, I agree. There are 2 sides to every story and there are video cameras on the bus ask to see me if, you might be surprised at what some of “these kids” do. In fact, you’d be shocked.

Do you know how terrible the kids are on the bus!!? They keep yelling, arguing, and standing, and they call the drivers horrible names. The driver is supposed to do her job while keeping our kids safe! So the least we could do is teach our kids to behave on the bus, and not disturb the driver instead of telling the driver not to yell!!!!
Parents are so stupid these days that they don't teach the kids to be respectful. They only teach them how to rebel 🙄
oh pleasee
if your response to that is defensive then you are clearly yelling at the kids. i mean you just yelled at the mom. someone who DOSENT abuse children would say "why would you get that idea?" or "i will raise my voice appropriately when the children are disruptive". not "YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH".
Even as a child i understood when the bus driver would yell and get after the kids not behaving. I never took it personal or offensive.
This sounds like the kind of driver who just hates her job and the kids she has to work with tbh 😂
It doesn't give the school bus driver to act unprofessional towards their students the bus driver should handle it in a nice way and write up the student who breaks the rules the bus driver needs to set an example on how kids to behave not the other around but on the other I saw the driver flip off the mom not professional behavior ok .

I just want to relate, I am a school bus driver, and her responce to that parent was wrong, and she should be disciplined for it, but on the other side of the issue, the mother that she wanted her to show respect to her kids, now if her kids show respect to the bus driver, then sure she should show respect back, but there are a lot of students out there that have not been taught by their parents to respect the ones in authority, and they're the ones that make the situation difficult, and frustrate the drivers.
Like most kids, hers are probably brats as well. So go ahead, yell at them, kick them off the bus, while the bus is going. Whatever it takes, so the children will listen
I went to kindergarten in 1971. We had tough bus drivers back then who did not take crap but they were not inappropriate or cruel. I remember my first bus driver yelling at this kid named Karl who was always standing up every day. She’d be driving down the road and she’d see Karl in the rear view mirror and she’d yell, “Sit down, Karl!” She never denigrated or scared the kids. Our other bus driver was a vet with a buzz cut. He actually died driving the school bus. He had an unexpected heart attack but was able to pull over. Our bus drivers had our respect and they didn’t let things go nuts, but we weren’t expected to sit with our hands in our laps and say nothing. My kids are grown now but had an issue with our kids’ elementary school bus driver. Our neighborhood kids were picked up in a church parking lot behind my house due to heavy traffic. I would stand in my backyard or kitchen and watch them. If the bus driver had called the school and gotten a message to us parents saying he wanted the kids lined up when he got there I would have made sure they did it. They’d see him come from the far side of the lot abd they’d run and line up. I never saw him waiting. One cold winter day they weren’t lined up, so he cursed them and shut the door in their faces and drove away, leaving them in the parking lot. I and one other parent who just happened to be the only parents who hadn’t left for work, had to load up all the kids whose parents had no idea they had been left (the elementary school kids didn’t have cell phones or a way to contact parents) and take them to school. I called the bus barn and they talked to the driver and they justified him leaving kids behind because they weren’t lined up. I was so mad because they hadn’t communicated it to any parent that there was a problem so we could deal with it. What if no parents were home and all the kids were locked out of their houses? I found it strange they would expect that kind of discipline yet they had allowed my kindergarten age daughter to be bullied and hit on the bus and they wouldn’t kick the bully off the bus so we had to take her off until the kid went to middle school. I was the kind of parent who made my kids take responsibility and I wasn’t a complainer. I had 6 kids ride the bus and the two times I had serious problems the supervisors sided with the driver despite the driver leaving kids which is nuts! It’s that old adage two wrongs don’t make a right. And the bus driver was an adult with a responsibility that he abdicated without any warning to parents or students. Some of those kids were scared and crying because they didn’t know how they would get to school or what they’d do until I stepped in with comfort and help.
Jeeus man
I could only make it yelling at Karl. Lol There is something you must understand. Kids today are so soft that even yelling "Sit down Rainbow!" would cause them to cry and accuse the driver of abuse and moms accosting with TikTok.
@@C.Church True. I’ve heard the schools in some states can’t even kick out the violent kids because the parents come to the school and make a fuss. Teachers and bus drivers are getting assaulted everyday because kids know their parents will let them get away with it. I saw a video of a girl and her mom who attacked a school bus driver. The mom was waiting at the stop after school and jumped on the bus. I assume she had to wait until the afternoon because she couldn’t be bothered to roll on out of bed. I would love to go back to the days when the worst thing that happened on the bus was good old Karl standing up. I look back and we all thought Karl was the naughtiest boy in class and on the bus, and he was, but he was really very tame, just a bit hyper and had trouble sitting still. There are a lot of things that have changed since the 70’s and I’m sure several of them have had a direct result on the way children behave or should I say misbehave.
Good Lord, I feel like I just read a novel. 🙄
What is it with you boomers and typing out novels?... you really think anyones gonna take the time to read all that?
Driver: i’m not yelling, this is my normal tone of voice!
Solve the issue by driving your own
Kids to school in your own car
My bus driver was the sweetest lady ever! She went to our church, she knew my parents well. My sisters and I just loved Mrs. Hunsucker! I'm 51 years old and I still remember her name.❤ This bus driver in the video did not hesitate to yell at a parent, so of course she yelled at the children when parents weren't around. It sounds like her children were intimidated and scared of the driver. I'm glad the district removed the grumpy lady off her children's bus route.
Most bus drivers are chill af. There's always some bad apples, just like any other professions like police, teachers, doctors.. But for 99% of the time, if u give them respect before hands, they won't make it hard for you, unless you're soliciting for favors..
Ok
@@COMPUTER.SCIENCE. what is your goal here
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 to speak the truth of my own experience. What's yours then? TROLLING? Sounds bout rite..
Mother was NOT “asking nicely” ….mother was disrespectful!
There is a whole list of concerns I have with this video about the driver but I also am not letting the mother off Scott free. The comment was made in a backhanded passive aggressive tone that was meant to push the drivers buttons. If you were being sincere, why would you open a conversation that she says she only wanted to get resolved with “please don’t yell at my kids today” and of all things didn’t have the decency to pull the kids off the bus when she realized the bus driver started reacting like a total lunatic.
Mom wanted to argue and she picked a fight with a bad news bear and got told off. Now the driver needs to be held accountable for that rapid door slam and drive off without knowing if the kids were seated or checking her mirrors.
Exactly!!!!
Being a school bus driver is very hard job and not to be taken lightly. I will gladly listen to any concern a parent has about me or the bus. As a bus driver I think to how I was as a child riding the bus everyday and how I felt. I apply that to how I deal with the children on my bus and it helps. But I also show these children that their safety, well being and get the safely to school and home to their parents everyday is my number one priority when they are on my bus. This really helps me with the more energetic elementary school children.
I’m a bus driver now. And I always end up yelling because there are so many kids that walking around my bus. Or start doing other things. I mean you can’t help it. Either that or they walk all over you. Sometimes the school doesn’t do anything either.
Then maybe she should drive the bus and see if the kids are being respectful to the drivers.
She was driving so fast she almost ran over the kids waiting to be picked up.
The mother started it on this one.
Mother at fault! The way she handled it is not okay.
Raise respectful kids instead of entitled brats
Uh, that's your takeaway here? Do you feel like the response from the driver was reasonable?
Wow! South Parks Ms. Crabtree is a real person!
😂 i knew she sounded familiar 😂
WOW!! The driver even told the Mom to shut her mouth right in front of her kids.. yeah 100% she's definitely doing the same to the kids on the bus.
Poor kids, this seems like something simple, but an adult talking to you like that really affects your self steem and changes your entire day, I experienced that as a child and it was just awful, the only thing you want to do at moments like these is never see that person again but these kids have to see her every day
Bus drivers don't yell for no reason.
The mother in this video handled this completely wrong. Don’t come up to my bus videoing me and tell me not to yell at your kids. That alone would’ve put me on the defensive, I would’ve told her to call my supervisor, shut the door and drove away. If there were an issue she should’ve called the transportation dept. I’m not defending the drivers actions either. She should’ve told the mom to call her boss. I do however understand why she got defensive. Teach your kid to video everything and come at people with that tone in your voice lady, good example. There are more mature ways to handle this situation without video, attitude, and in front of a bus load of children.
Nah man our teachers pulled us by the ears, hit us with yardsticks. You know why? Because we needed it! Parents bubble wrapping their kids, WOW they are gonna get hit with reality as soon as they get out of P school
This "parent," and I'm using the term very loosely, needs to CHASTISE her KIDS and NOT another ADULT. She needs to find out what her kids are doing and correct them. It sounds like she wants to ignore what they are doing like she does when they are AT HOME. Well, they are NOT at home, and the bus driver is responsible for more than just HER kids. The bus driver needs order and discipline to operate the bus SAFELY. She does NOT need any distractions from kids who don't know how to act. Additionally, their bad behavior is being REINFORCED because this "parent" is supporting them when they are WRONG. This is a good example of why we don't have enough qualified teachers or bus drivers. They have to take too much ABUSE from BAD parents, SORRY administrators, and BAD kids. The bus driver's job is to transport the children SAFELY, not RAISE somebody's kids. I PERSONALLY know a school bus driver. He stated that when he QUIT, it was the BEST thing that had happened to him!🧐
I'm sure this is not the whole story..... SMH if the bus driver yells at the kids every day I'm sure them little angels are doing something wrong! How to correct this problem is to have every bus with an bus Aid or just drive them angels to school yourself. Ikr
Just the other day another bus driver was praised for yelling at the kids.
I bet your children are angels that’s why she yells at them 😂
If they looked at the video they would have to see most likely how bad the kids are probably behaving. The school busses have gotten out of control - Not condoning how this driver is acting but she is probably at her wits end. I was a sub and quit because the ONLY recourse you have is write ups. The schools have gotten into using "behavior modification" and will flat out tell you "we are not in the business of disciplining kids, we are in the business of positive encouragement and the MOST important thing is keeping EVERY body in the class rooms" I was driving a rout where I was BEGGING the kids to behave. Pencils flying thru the air, kids spitting , girls up in the isle twirking, kids crawling under the seats, kids playing tug of war across the isle and flying into the seat while you are going down the road. Every write up was the same "we talked to them and they promised to do better" However, when the camera is pulled they want to know WHY you are allowing the kids to act that way. If you are writing the kids up and nothing is being done, you are pulling the bus over and trying to explain to the kids how dangerous it is for them to throw pencils and they just look at you and return to the action a few seconds after you pull off. OR better yet you get called into the office because you upset little Sally and scared her when you told the bus they could loose an eye throwing stuff like that and how dare you scare Sally with facts. Yeah I would not recommend ANYONE become a bus driver with to days kids and the way the schools run.
The way the mother approached the bus driver wasn’t right. Talking about “don’t yell at my kids today” and expecting a proper response to that? Eff off! You take it to the authorities and have them survey them to see why the bus driver even have to yell at your kids for.
Then to bring up respect at the end 😂😂
GET THE PSICOLOGISTS OUT OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM. KIDS NEED LIMITS AND RESPONSABILITY.
Will be good to evaluate parents too...
I have never driven children, but I drove a city bus. A few points to consider are: buses are very loud. There is no such talking at a normal volume over a diesel engine. No one can hear you. The driver has a schedule to make. She is in charge of a bus and paying attention to the road and operating the mechanics. There is no way to respond to a comment like that and resolve it on schedule. It is out-of-pocket and condescending. If she has a comment to make, talk to the company or schedule a time to meet after hours. I might be alone, here, but I think that kids are too sensitive. I do not believe that there is anything the driver can say that should make them cry. The driver is making less than $20 an hour to spare that b-tc- a 5 minute drive. She doesn’t deserve any “driving Miss Daisy” crap or ire to do the job that YOU WON’T. Please, grow-up and look in the mirror. Thanks. Respectfully,
Maybe your kids need to be yelled at....And Mom's approach to that situation sucked...
Why is she yelling at them? Oh that's not important
The way she screamed "I DON'T YELL AT YOUR KIDS!" 😏
If the mom had a problem with the bus driver, she should’ve taken it up with the transportation department. Having a confrontation with the school bus driver in front of all the kids is not appropriate. It makes her just as bad as the school bus driver. I’ve also found out through the years that one persons Idea of what yelling is is sometimes vastly different than what another persons version of yelling is.
That driver needs to go.
Parent needs to try driving a school bus for a few weeks. Walk a mile in her shoes. Also it seems parent had no intention of getting to the heart of the problem. Instead acted like the driver should be subservient.
to be honest the mom is the one instigating this incident. if you have a problem, be a grownup about it and dont pick petty fights in front of your kids. just got to the school about it. if you're kids are constantly getting yelled out, they're probably misbehaving......
The way she immediately started screaming was pretty telling that's how she reacts to anything even minor that upsets her.
The bus driver probably treated the kids worse after this.
Our school bus, was a city bus. Bus driver, was big. If you stood he'd stop come back there, and tell you to sit down. Everybody listened.
Maybe her kids are misbehaved brats?
I am a substitute teacher and a certified school counselor. Been at at for a while. Over the years I've been called names that are highly insulting, taken advantage of, and lied to more times than I can count. This is a wonderful teaching tool for people in my line of work. Most kids I work with are very respectful, and understand that I'm in charge in their regular teacher's absence. Other kids have an ingrained belief that you are nothing more than a babysitter with little authority and take every opportunity they can to antagonize you, bend the rules, and take their sweet time at the bathroom, even you calmly explain to them that that behavior is dangerous because it jeopardizes their safety in case of an emergency that you are in charge of. Needless to say, it's rough out there.
I have a hard time believing that a bus driver would just yell at a kid without being provoked by some sort of misbehavior. I don't blame the mother for being protective of her kids. However, I can't help but think that this confrontation was premeditated on the mother's part because she didn't like the response she got from the school, or was too impatient to go above their heads to the superintendent or school board to set up a meeting where a workable solution to this problem could have been found. Sometimes you can't reason with people even if you think you're in the right.
The bus driver could have kept her cool and denied everything in a levelheaded manner. Unfortunately, the driver responded exactly the way the mother wanted her to, which justified her kid's claims and allowed her to be the victim and the hero.
Respect is a two-way street and is earned not given. Common ground can be achieved in a way in which an equitable solution for all can be achieved, but are we willing to put the time and sacrifice necessary to achieve a fair outcome for all?
Oh lady tell your kids toughen up
The bus driver’s response to the mother is very telling. I’m convinced that the driver definitely yelled at the children. Glad she was taken off the route
😂😂😂😂 just 😂😂😂😂. People are crazy. The mom, the driver, just crazy.
“I don’t yell at your kids.” The bus driver said calmly
If that is how she talks to an adult, you know damn well she's yelling at those kids.
Mom, take the bus driver's job for a few years and see how you do!
Mom needs to work as a school bus driver for a while.....
Immediately yelling: “I don’t yell at your kids!!!!!!!!!!”
Unfortunately most kids today have zero sense or respect. Sometimes teachers and drivers are at the end of their rope.
Wow. Lol. That bus driver showed her true colors right off the gate! 😂
Once again not all the facts! I was a little asshole on the bus I can only imagine these days
Agreed but regardless the bus driver handled it like a idiot. So I have to side with the mom this by the bus drivers actions on video.
Then, tell your kids to sit down and behave.
