Traffic
Time for some bus talk.
Today I was talking with one of the students on my bus and she asked why I had my blog address posted. I said why not? I don't get a ton of comments so more traffic would be fun. I was also interested in who might notice it and who might comment. So far, I have only received this one verbal comment. Nothing on the net yet but who knows who else might have over heard and decided to check it out. It might not be the most exciting blog, but it is mine so I like it.
Other bus news is that I was reminded of the new parking regulations today. Buses cannot park on city streets anymore. It used to be we could park for one hour and then the bus had to move, but it has changed. I was reminded by the ticket I received. The fine was $25 and if I paid within a certain time period it would only be $20. I went down and paid it today and the cashier had to enter the information from my ticket. I was also told that since I paid it right away and since it was new legislation, the fine was reduced to $10.
The last bit of bus news is that I have been working on a seating plan for my bus. One of the other drivers was talking to me and encouraging me to do this so that the kids will be calmer. Then as you go, you tweak the seating plan to get the right combination of kids. The current seating plan is going to be by grade, but if I have to get more serious then I will go with the assigned seating. I know that nobody wants that because I have been making assigned seating sound like the worst thing that could happen to them (because I did not want to go through the work to figure out who should sit where). So I have to get up tomorrow and print some seat signs and then take tape and post the signs. I would rather sleep.

Well, there are some siblings that used to sit together that don't anymore. They are older and can handle it. The younger ones are grouped together and it has not been a problem. That said the older one can move to the younger area, it is just the younger ones that are restricted in where they can sit.
