How To Have Good Manners On A School Bus?

Answer 1

School buses are an excellent place for children to practice manners. Bus rules should be displayed prominently for children who can read and repeated as much as necessary to children who can’t read. In time, the once unruly ride to school will become an exciting, but safe and reasonably quiet, transportation adventure for children and bus passengers alike.

How to increase good manners on school buses

1.Have the list of requested manners posted in a place for all children to read. The back of every seat would be a great place for manner requests.

2.Unfortunately, not all children have learned how to read yet. That’s why they’re on their way to school. Until they learn, it’s still possible to teach them good manners on the school bus. Each time they show bad manners to their fellow passengers, remind them.

3.Reward students for good behavior. Punishment leads to rebellion and on a school bus, the rebellion of children can have nerve-racking or deadly consequences.

4.When a student repeatedly shows bad manners during his trip to school, it might be necessary to discipline him by reporting his behavior to the principle or making him sit at the front of the bus where he can be watched more closely. Being separated from his friends might help encourage better manners.

If students don’t have someone to ride along with them, to help the bus driver, it’s up to the bus driver to keep an eye on the children. This can be difficult because bus drivers need their only two eyes to be focused on the road. In this case, encouraging good behavior before the trip can help. Rewards like little toys and candy might help children be on best behavior during their ride to school. This reduces the amount of time the bus driver has to spend disciplining children and increases the amount of time spent driving safely with no interruptions.

There is no real step by step set of instructions to teach people who drive school buses how to make their little passengers have good manners. The best policy is to post good manner policies in places where literate children can read them and reward good behavior over poor behavior.
