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.
Our buses are like our homes. If you went over to your friends house and they asked you to take off your shoes and you didn't it would be disrespectful to their wishes. Some drivers set rules in much the same way.
I take the time to memorize my stops and the kids at each stop. I greet them by name every morning.
Tbh if a parent wants to bitch about the time the bus comes they have 2 options. 1 become a driver or 2 drive your own damn kid.
Yes as long as they're properly trained and pass all the requirements.

Not into a private house but into a public building due to a tornado yes. I notified my supervisor where we were and that the kids were safe.
Probably for the same reason you stop there?
I think the video is fine. Most people do not understand what we go through as drivers and it's informational. If you're offended by it then change jobs.
