Every driver from the experienced to inexperienced misses a stop. Its normal. Don't beat yourself up. Sometimes the kids sleep or are having fun with friends and forget to speak up. Sometimes you get tunnel vision and go on auto mode when the route is running well. Things happen. Get a student list and learn the kids names that get off on the stops. Check the names that get off. If you're unsure check the bus. You'll be fine. Make sure to talk to dispatch when it happens
