We had the same thing, but 5 or 6 kids. Bus driver would drive off if there wasn't another on the way by the time the last one was seated, and that would get them into shape for a week or two. But gradually back into the same old pattern.
I was a substitute bus driver while in college in 1968. They told me to have about a 4th grade girl sit in the seat behind me, to help with the route. High school kid was acting up on the afternoon route, so I quietly asked my assistant to tell me when we were about a half a mile from his place (a country route- pretty big farming country). She did, and I stopped the bus and kicked him off. He got mouthy, told me his old man would have my job. I replied that it wasn't much of a job anyhow, and he was welcome to it.
After we got underway again, my little assistant said "You'll never hear from his dad. He won't even tell him, or he'd get his hide tanned but good." Nice girl- I doubt she ever got her hide tanned, but she was well aware of the concept.
I miss the old days, when the community kind of worked together to get the kids raised.
