Learn me all about school bus driving

I only rode the bus during one school year. I have no bad nor overly fond memories of it. Watch many Simpsons back episodes for inspiration.

It made him laugh, which was a great relief to me.

Times are different now, I'm sure. But if you can put the fear in 'em young by being burly, surly, and driving like life's a demolition derby, they will remember you all their days.

so don't back up on top of the sedan behind you even if some little prick throws a snowball at your bus.

There was a crew of black dudes who sat in the back of the bus and would mock the fact that the bus's gears were nearly stripped out. Everytime the driver would shift, thus grinding the gears, the crew would sing Little Honda by the Hondells, but grind the word "geeeeaaaar" as they sang it.

Now, 15 years later, I'm still in awe that they knew the song and applied it so well.

Anyway, that same year, we also had this hottest-ever-high-schooler Brazilian senior foreign exchange student girl who got off at one of the first stops. Every day she got off the bus, it took exactly ten seconds for her to get down the steps and far enough away that he would bring up the nerve to gaze upon that ass. We started counting down, just a couple busriders at first, until eventually basically every remaining busrider chanted down from 10 to 1 and yelled woo etc when he snuck his peak. I seriously don't think he ever even noticed.

one day late in the school year when the weather was heating up someone put a milk carton, saved from lunch, next to a tire of the adjacent bus so that when that bus pulled away there was a glorious milk explosion - total pandemonium! bus driver with a switch told us to shut up, but had no clue what happened.

next day, same scenario.

third day we were all pretty psyched for the milk explosion - right before the buses were about to leave and our eyes were fixed on the nearly exploded milk, bus driver gets off the bus, grabs the carton and with out pausing walks right in and up to the guilty milk-laying 6th grader - grabbing the boy's jaw while holding his nose closed and wrenching back his head, he pours the sun-heated milk down the kid's throat.

I never got to ride a bus except for field trips. I lived just barely within the x-mile radius for elementary and junior high, so my little ass had to walk.

wtf

Louisville schools will remain closed early next week to allow for more time to fix bus routes whose redesign left some children at home on the first school day this year and others getting home hours late.

The Jefferson County Public Schools had already canceled classes Thursday and Friday in response to Wednesday’s route fiasco. Now there will be no school Monday and Tuesday “as we continue to work on short and long-term changes to ensure the reliability of our bus services.” the district said Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Kentucky’s largest district, with 96,000 students, had retooled its bus system through a Massachusetts-based consulting company that uses computer algorithms to map out courses and stops. It was a response to a chronic bus driver shortage. The redesigned plan reduced the number of routes.

Wednesday’s mess resulted in hungry and tired children, angry parents and exasperated politicians.

Do take speed bumps as fast as possible, for the benefit especially of the kids in the back rows.
