Protecting Disabled Students From Bullying On The School Bus
Summary
Buses can be a hotbed of bullying, and school bus drivers have ample opportunity to prevent it – but only if they’re properly trained and have the support of district administration. Diversity training is a great first step in anti-bullying because it can make your drivers more aware of the wide variety of children they’ll be transporting on buses. 2 - Be willing to stop the bus If bullying is happening, yelling at the offending student from the driver’s seat may not do much to deter them. Reminders throughout every part of a childs day will keep reinforcing the need for everyone to look out to protect each other and prevent bullying before it starts. They can provide rock-solid evidence of bad behavior if the bully’s parents refuse to intervene.
