Don't turn the apple cart

Establish a routine and try not to deviate from that too much. Don’t vary the route as that creates excitement and anxiety, neither of which is conducive to good behavior on the bus. Practice maintaining an even predictable demeanor. Accept the fact that just driving the bus is hard enough and establish routines that tend to keep the students calm. The calmer they are the better behaved they will tend to be. A bus full of students is no place to upset the apple cart.
