“Some as young as 5”…. WTF!

Don't blame him. Maybe if you taught your kids some bloody manners and respect, your little shit would not have been booted. They are not victim.

I’m a school bus driver myself. I agree to an extent, but leaving kids on the side of the road? Nah.

Us bus drivers take shit from all angles - parents, teachers, students, bosses - while getting underpaid to babysit up to 60 kids while trying to operate a large vehicle often in rush hour traffic.

It’s honestly fucking insane how little it pays, but I’m just using it as a fill-in job while I work at getting more hours at my much better paying job. I can’t wait to get out.

Anyway, I can understand how this happened, but I don’t condone it.

I can

Nope. Sorry. We're talking kids as young as 5, what can a 5 yr old even do to deserve to be put in such a predicament??

The bus driver is an adult who voluntarily got a job as a school bus driver, a person who's responsibility is to safely get the kids to their bus stop/the school. Once the kids were safely out of the drivers hands if he wanted to them quit on the spot then more power to him. But leaving kids on the side of the road is not acceptable.
