One of many solutions could be to create a secondary safety net/human-made mycorrhizal network/underground system of honesty for children and adults consisting of apps to ENSURE safe housing, clean water, healthy food, quality education, and full health care, an online educational and empowering system of government to identify problems and vote on the most logical and ethical solutions, and a community builder simulator to plan future development to be in harmony with the Earth and with each other. So most people could earn a living wage working towards an ensured basic standard of living for everyone, while achieving self actualization in the process.
It's not about the pay. I am able to drive a bus. I'm retired and healthy and can drive. But I wouldn't be a bus driver for the same reason I wouldn't be a cop. If anything goes wrong, it's always the bus driver's fault. The bus driver is the fall guy, when the children misbehave or get hurt. In today's culture and politics, it isn't smart to be a bus driver. You're asking for a law suit, or jail time. We live in a time when the victims of crime get arrested, while the criminals go free. And until that stops, stay away from high risk situations.
Crappy pay, awful kids.but, zero respect.
What do you expect?
School bus drivers were forgotten during 2020 so we went else where.
american cities have no public transport and everyone drives, otherwise you wouldn't need 'school bus' , regular public transport would be enough, but america love cars and no accept no other way, so dumb
Oh, a lack of pay! what do ya know.
Teacher shortages too.
What this actually shows is a dreadful lack of schools to serve the community. 🤨 If most children need to be bussed 'in', why aren't there schools 'out'? Conglomerating children should not be the priority so that education ministers can point to a bottom line with pride. Build more schools. 🤨
I managed 5 shops of these school buses… There is no way I would ever allow my children on one and I drive my grandkids. Those buses are not safe and I have no idea how they passed a test with speaking zero english !
Short on bus drivers, short on teachers, short on custodians, short on maintenance. What happened to "economy is doing well" and "employment is up"?
The bus drivers all lost their jobs during the pandemic like home health workers.

The majorty in Spain walk to school,few take a bus. I remember doing that when young in the USA.
Whats turtle man doing about that😂😂?
Let the kids walk to school. Problem solved
I wasn't aware that education is a priority in the state of Kentucky.
How about getting off your lazy @$$es and take your own kids back & forth to school? Makes alot of sense to me.
Kentucky is a hellhole
Urban planning in the United States is a disaster. It makes people dependent on cars and school buses.
It's a money pit and environmental nonsense.
With cities on a human scale, young people can go to school (or elsewhere…) on foot or by bicycle. They are not dependent on buses or on parents who act as taxi drivers.
It's tempting. But I don't like children.
