13 Investigates | School children late, miss class due to school bus driver shortage

[@Meanbob2010]

If parents taught their children be civil and respectful towards others and didn't let them get away with being hateful and disrespectful with bus drivers, we wouldn't have this problem.

I'm having an issue with this sometimes... Another issue is at the high school, when kids have to use a shuttle bus to go back and forth from the career centers to school, they're tardy and are being marked absent and given no passes to be tardy to class. I personally witnessed this while picking up my child for a dental appointment one day. I get an alert via text and email- EVERY single school day about my child being "absent" to class. The school emails that they're going to get truancy involved and crap, but my student is in class. He sends me pictures and is fed up himself. He's even taken to walking instead. However, that doesn't help every time. These Lawrence Township Schools have became a joke

This happens in Fort Wayne. So the kids either have to walk to school or they have to do online school for that day.

It’s because bus drivers don’t make shit. You could never live on that salary

Once my school bus driver was not well didn’t call my mom that the bus will be late so my best friend Ms Stephanie stayed to me until bus arrives to make sure I’m safe

This isn't the America I grew up in

[@akoww1000]

In Florida, we have a shortage but it's due to drivers being tried dealing with violent students. The school board won't kick these kids off the bus and they are never punished for their crimes to drivers or other students. Plus they don't pay enough to deal with it either.

That bus driver is amazing he is very good bus driver to work his way and get up early in the morning to help other kids to be in school that is an angel of God

[@George-yh3zy]

School bus driver has to be one of the worst jobs in the world.

[@tinadunaway1737]

People needs to home school their kids. Keep your kids safe from the perverted schools.

It doesn't help with all the anxiety and social awkwardness kids are having becoming young adults these days.
