Find a Good Seat on the School Bus

Do you always sit next to the kid that flicks you? Punches you? Spits at you? Here's a guide to help you find a good seat!

Steps

Think about where on the bus you want to sit in. The back is bumpy, almost no engine noise, the middle is so-so, and the front is calm, but the engine noise is a little louder, especially if it's a flathead bus.
Once you find the right part of the bus, start thinking if there are any annoying kids that usually sit in the part.
If there are, sit as far away from them as possible, but still be in the same part of the bus.
- If there are two kids in that part, you might want to try to find a different part of the bus.
Figure out if you want to sit by the left windows or the right windows.
Pick a seat, and enjoy the quiet, peaceful ride to school.
At the last lesson of the school day ask the teacher if you can go directly at the time school ends. This way you can get to the bus quicker, maybe even first and pick the right seat for you.
Don't let annoying people sit next to you! If you really know that that person who wants to sit next to you, is annoying, put a bag in that seat and simply stare out the window so people cannot ask you to move your bag! And if they do, tell them politely you'd prefer if they didn't.

You might want to find a quiet spot where you can do your homework, too.
It's also useful to have a few friends on the bus, but we can't all control that.
If your school has an unspoken or written rule about where you have to sit because of your grade level, this article will not work.
Make sure that the bus driver didn't assign seats.
If your bus has a boys' and a girls' side sit on the correct side.
In the morning get to the bus stop a little early so you are the first person on your bus stop to pick a seat, especially on the first day of school. Whatever seat you pick is yours forever.

Always pay attention to the bus rules! They are usually posted on the front wall of the bus, above or to the right of the driver. If your school has a handbook, they should be there, too.
Number seven may not work if the person who wants to sit next to you is mean and bossy.
Some bus drivers start driving even before you sit down, so try to think of where you want to sit before you actually get on the bus.
You could get kicked off the bus if you don't obey your buses' assigned seat rule!
