The article mainly focuses on pay. And that's true, bus drivers need and deserve way, way more money. Anyone with a CDL can go out and make 6 digits without much trouble. Yet they want people to do it for 1/4 the money.

In addition to more money, they need more power to throw kids off the bus or ban them outright. Today they must just tolerate kids cussing you out, throwing things at you, and oftentimes trying to physically assault you. You wouldn't believe the awful things I saw on a public schoolbus.

You'd have to be insane to sign up for that in current conditions.
