I used to drive school bus, which is not a job I would suggest for anyone who does not have a lot of patience. As a mentor, the first thing they tell you is to never turn your back on a room full of students. As a bus driver, you consistently have your back to a bus full of students. It’s not just twenty children, however seventy-two, or as much as eighty-more than three if you have a single of the newest extended buses. The worst thing about driving a school bus, is the Heating and A/C idea on those things. It can undoubtedly hot during the summer, in our area. Our school buses did not have air conditioning. The two of us had a heating component that would burn your legs if you didn’t keep it turned down. The heating seldom did anything for the adolescents in the back of the bus. Summer but, has everyone complaining. It gets so hot in the front of the bus that you can barely breathe. The fans just blow the heat around. Our bus owner had planned on getting a couple busses with air conditioning, just for those of us who took adolescents to school all year round. Since I drove for special needs, I felt it was a necessity, although she kept putting off the purchase. Finally some of the parents got on the bandwagon and demanded bussing with air conditioning for their children. Unfortunately, the air conditioned bus didn’t get purchased until the year I retired. I would have love to be able to drive a bus that had air conditioning. Somebody else will be benefiting from my complaints.
