Two times a day five days a week, parents and guardians entrust their child’s life to a school bus driver.  However, according to Americanownnews.com, thousands of children are injured yearly in school bus related accidents.

Bus drivers must keep the kids’ behavior under control while still driving safely, which can be difficult with younger students. School bus drivers are essential for school-goers’ daily journies to and from school and  for taking them to school events.

Because school buses do not have seat belts, the risk of people getting hurt in an accident is greatly increased.

School bus drivers should be paid more than they are today because of how much responsibility they have over our children,s lives.
