FWIW, I think that bus drivers have one of the toughest jobs in a school district.[/quote]
Do you think that bus monitor in the other video would be able to do anything in this situation? If that’s the reason for having a bus monitor, then I question why she was hired as a bus monitor. I would expect to see a 6′ 250lb guy as bus monitor.[/quote]
She can (is supposed to be able to) keep the kids seated and fairly quiet so the driver can drive.
Sure, it would be nice to have a 6’+ burly bodyguard type to do this job, but do you have any idea how much a bus monitor makes? Very few capable young men without criminal records would be willing to do this job, both because of the pay and because of the hours (can’t work another job if you’re working this one, and it’s usually a split shift). It’s the type of job that mostly middle-aged women will take when they are just trying to make some extra money after the kids leave the house.
