This article was great, i hope more parent's get to view this. It is important for parent's to understand that our job is to get the children to school safely, we care about these children and i suppose that is why i drive a school bus. I have been driving for 10 year's now and i can't thank of anything else i would rather do. I love kid's even when they act up, and if i can make a differance in just one of their live's then i feel i have done something worth while. These children are our future and we can all help make a differance in their life.
Seatbelts are a big waste of time and money.
We are having a safety workshop for the holidays in our area and would like to include your information for the thousands in our area who don't own computers or have access to your website. I think that seat belts in school buses will get cut off with scissors by kids and taken home to play with. They will just make school buses more expensive making our tax's go up, but the belts will be cut off by kids. Kids slash seats and burn them with lighters now, so of course they are going to cut off and steal something as usefull as a seat belt. My daughters school considers it mandatory for all players on their sports team to ride the bus together, regardless of parent concerns about the lack of seat belts and the dangers of driving on narrow, snowy roads that must be travelled in the winter.
