School Bus Bullying Prevention
As of 2015, 1 in 4 students was a victim of bullying.
It's well known among children and adults that the school bus is one of the top locations for bullying to occur. Bullies tend to choose locations where adult supervision is low to pick on their peers. Without teachers or parents to monitor their behavior, and with the bus driver often limited in their ability to enforce school policy (especially while driving), the bus can become a breeding ground for bullying and other bad behavior.
Likewise, children are limited in their ability to escape bullying on the bus, meaning the bully has their target right where they want them. As a result, many bullies choose the bus as the primary location to torment their victims.
