Valentines Day and Other Holidays One School Bus Driver Loves to Hate

Valentine's Day is almost here and along with the cards and conversation hearts comes a minor gripe from one school bus driver: all that candy that inevitably winds up on the bus. The Musings and Rantings of a School Bus Driver counts down the Six Holidays Drivers Love to Hate, including V-Day:
"Ahh, the day of love and cherishment. A day for a child to express feelings as a secret admirer and to exchange 'Be My Valentine' cards with EVERY OTHER child in their class. This, by far, is my favorite of the “candy” holidays as a bus driver. Why? You ask? Because, my dear readers, the children put NAMES on the cards, and I can write them up for eating and drinking on the bus. I know, its grinch-like, but when you’ve been sweeping up wrappers all year, you finally have your culprits in hand and name."
Here's to hoping one of our favorite school bus bloggers gets a clean bus and maybe a few valentines from the kids this year.

  1. For those wondering, my Valentine's "Friday the 13th" was quite pleasurable. The kids were remarkably well behaved and very well mannered. Happy Valentines Day to all bus drivers.

We want this to be an open forum for the hundreds of thousands of people that help get students to school safely every day. We want to hear what you think, what's going on at your facility and what solutions you've found. But, please, keep it civil. Just like on the bus, we'll have no tolerance for attacks or anything defamatory. We won't write you up, but we'll delete the comments right away. So don't bother. But if you have something to share, this is your place.
