WHAT IS A SCHOOL BUS DRIVER? A school bus driver is a person who smiles in the morning, smiles in the evening and eats Rolaids in between. A school bus driver has a good understanding of human nature and Mother Nature. A school bus driver has an up-to-date vocabulary. A school bus driver gives reassuring nods to anxious moms standing at the bus stops. A school bus driver gets there when nobody else can, finds houses that don’t exist and children with no names. School bus drivers have eyes in the back of their heads, and hear every word, even in sign language. School bus drivers are immune to noise. A school bus driver’s favorite words (besides “good morning” and “goodnight”) are “sit down”. Sometimes a school bus driver gets tired, but seldom gets mad, and always, most faithfully, gets there.
