I am a bus monitor and I’m pretty young 26 but most of the buses that have bus monitors are special needs kids, and elementary school. Yes most parents bring their kids but a lot let their little five and six year olds, walk alone across the street alone and there’s just a lot going on, a lot of cars don’t even stop at the stop sign like I’ve seen them keep going in or circuit. It’s more about the cars around that don’t care to stop. For the most part, my driver puts their stuff signed down and let the cars go around if the kid is taking too long
