Racing for the bus

On my elementary route, many of the students group together in the morning to wait for the bus to arrive. As they see the bus approaching sometimes they have a tendency to start racing each other to see who can get on first. If allowed to persist it gets to be a competitive thing. When students do this it is advisable to stop the bus well before any of the students reach it and then wait there for the rest of the kids walk to where the bus is stopped. Advise them as they get on that running toward the bus while it is still rolling is strictly forbidden, focusing primarily on the biggest offenders.
