Then you follow the rules as you were told. Stop the bus, call the school. You don't just keep driving.

If the parents are mad because the kids were late, who cares? You did the right thing. Their little monsters didn't and yeah, I've dealt with enough of these parents to know that they think their children are entitled. That is why you follow your rules and the problem is theirs, not yours.

I've never seen it get bad enough for the school to tell the kids they had to find another means to get to school. I don't know if they can. Mostly it will be expulsion or alternative school. But, this kind of behavior needs to be stopped early on. Keep the kids who pick at each other at opposite ends of the bus.

Unless the school told them to keep driving. Which is a very real possibility. Because they may not have another solution (driver or school). Not to mention, maybe a bus stop for one of the fighting kids is the next one. Which would also be a very possible solution to the problem.

The school cares. Especially private one. But public ones, as well. As the parents are kind of like the customers. And who says it's the right thing? Again, just because you think you're doing the right thing doesn't always mean you are. Driving for a few more minutes to get one of them off the bus could be a better solution than just stopping and letting the fight continue while you wait for someone to come out depending on how long that will take. We don't know everything that was going on. Only what we're told and can see on the video. The bus driver may have thought of what would be the best solution...

You can kick them off the bus for a while. Though, when that happened at my school, a kid got shot. Now, someone most likely would have been shot either way. It just turns out this kid did after being kicked off the bus and having to get his grandma or aunt or someone to take him to school early... But keeping kids on the opposite end of the bus might not work. As they could probably still move at some point. And it also depends on the kid. Maybe it's a kid that beats up everyone. Or a kid that's picked on by everyone.

Except that I've driven a public school bus and I've taught in public schools. Not in an inner city but I have been on some pretty angry bus rides. I know what I am supposed to do in those situations.

It's different, though. Between things like city or rural areas. Or even between different cities. Buses in DC are way more dangerous than any buses I've ridden for any schools I've been to. You can't say that you have to act the same in every situation...
