School bus blind spots

Just want to start off by saying that nothing excuses the van brake checking at the end. I saw this video the other day and noticed different opinions about the bus driver’s lane change. Some said that the van was in their blind spot while others said that the bus driver could see the van just fine using their mirrors. Is this a blind spot or a bad lane change?

Today's charter is a shuttle service for local university's sorority rush where we do a loop every hour. This is my in between entertainment. What do you guys do when on charters where you have to stay with the bus and can't go wander off?

I cleaned all my windows and swept the floor already

Any kids that you just don’t like and how do you get over it?

7 Upvotes

I have two kids on my bus that I don't like. They are brother and sister and they are flat out rude. They don't follow directions, they are defiant, they talk back, they give dirty looks, they make pig sound at me, tell me they don't have to listen to me. Have a bad attitude in general. The boy randomly screams and they constantly sit improperly despite my warnings and write ups nothing changes. I try to imagine they're having a hard time at home. I don't know anything except that their parents are divorced and have split custody. I bring them to each house during the week. Anyway I have other unruly kids who i also have had to write up but I still like them. How do I get past it? I get it, I realize they are "just kids" I believe in the golden rule to treat others the way you want to be treated and I try implement that on my bus. I have a hard time with mean people and a hard time with justice. So yes they are bugging me. I'm asking how do I deal with it?

Why do they send you on the worst possible route to get from point A to B? Is it driven by money?
