Do you remember?
« on: September 21, 2012, 03:03:22 am »
Do you remember what it was like when you rode a school bus?  I drive a school bus now and let me tell you the students are so different. I drive for High School students only. Some of them do not know how to stay seated, some of them have a very foul mouth, very loud mouth and are so rude, and all we as drivers can do is write them up and hope that somebody at the school will do something. What as happened to having manners and being respectful to each other?
  Thanks for letting me vent.

I rode the bus daily from K to High School.

That was many many years ago.  I don't remember any unruly kids.

I graduated in 1975 - so that tells you a lot.

Kids in general now a days are way different than when we grew up.

As a kid if I screwed up and got caught I was actually afraid if my parents found out.
But I graduated in 1977 so I am from a different generation than kids today. 

Now a days so many parents are too busy with work and their own lives that they don't take
the time to teach their kids basic respect and manners and if they do get out of line and ground
them they are not home to enforce the punishment.

I remember taking the bus for both grammar school AND High School (in the 60's and 70's).
There are some specific memories that have stayed in my mind; we got stuck in a mud hole one morning and were late for our first class.
I also remember one particular girl and admiring the way she wore her hat.

I think kids in this generation have a lack of respect because they are raising themselves from having to live with parents working all the time. Of course their are many other scenarios out there...And this is my opinion only

I have no comparison with anyone who has posted here. I rode the school bus back in the 90's. There was some loud talk, but not too many unruly kids. For the most part things went well and never got out of control. I do believe people have gotten more disrespectful and undisplicined as the years have gone by and that includes children too. I guess it should be no surprise that the children act this way when the parents condone it. I remember on the news a while back there was a child being unruly, profane and disrespectful to the driver and other kids. When the driver corrected him he told his mother and she was caught on tape cursing out the bus driver. Is it any wonder he acted that way? If the children are raised properly for the most part they will show some respect, but in those situations the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I hope your situation will improve and that things go well for you.

I rode the school bus for the most part from 1982 to 1993. The kids were sometimes rude and loud but were easily reprimanded for their behavior. These days kids don't care and are very rude, cruel, and mean. I feel sorry for anyone that drives a school bus these days.   :(

I remember riding the bus in middle school, during school I walked to school. On my bus we all had to sit and talk quietly. But manners are taught at home if parents don't show the students these manners and expect their children to have manners then they won't.

I remember taking the bus to and from school. Seems there was always a bully on board. Well one day getting off the bus to go home the Bully picked on me. That was enough. Lets just say the Bully was real nice the rest of the school year

I didn’t experience any of that when I took the school bus in High School. We were in the most part pretty well behaved.
