Luckily it's actually pretty hard to hurt kids in a school bus. They are built incredibly heavy and sturdy for exactly this reason -- if you collide with any car other than a loaded semi trailer, the bus will win.

Busses even roll every so often and while the kids are banged up a bit, fatalities are incredibly rare.

Yeah, we were told that, and I do know that.

But...the irrational part of me still had anxiety about it.

And we were trained about how to evacuate the kids, which we were supposed to do only in two cases: stuck on railroad tracks and fire. And only those two cases because...being on the bus was safer, just as you said.
