Did it for 6years. Learned in a hurry that it is easier to put a stop
to the loud noise and any other misbehaving right from the
beginning than let it go on. They learn in a hurry what your limit
of tolerance will be and they will push you to it. The front seat
was always reserved for the trouble makers. I used to every once
in a while put a brother and sister in the same seat if one gave
me to much trouble. They had to put up with each other and
didn't have time to bother any one else. Also, you never know
what the situation is in the home. I had one boy who tested me
every day. I tried every trick in the book and nothing worked. I
sent notes home that he was causing trouble and it would be
worse the next day. One time the mother sent a long note back
to me explaining that his father would beat on him when he got
in trouble. He had the same name as his dad but he hated it and
all the kids and teachers used it and would tease him somewhat
about it. She said he wished people would use his middle name
which she gave me. I took him aside one day and said I wasn't
going to send notes home anymore, that If he wanted me to use
his other name I would. It was like he put his anger aside when
he got on the bus after that and he would come up to me and
talk about things. You have to get into their heads sometimes if
thats possible. I enjoyed it for the most part. Don't forget to ask
for the free bus driver meals at the fast food stops if you take
them on field trips.
