As a minor (someone under the 18), you don't have the same kind of rights as an adults. Essentially, you have the right to be fed, housed, clothed and not to be abused. That's about it.
You do not have the right to have a firearm (Second Amendment). You do not have the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure - because your parents and teachers can search your stuff anytime they like. (Fourth Amendment.) You don't have the right to vote. You don't have the ability or right to sign a contract. And you don't have the same First Amendment right as an adult. Heck, you don't even have a "right" to ride on the school bus.
And incidentally, an adult wouldn't be allowed to behave like a horse's *** and shout across a bus either. The First Amendment was intended to protect political speech. (In many countries, expressing a different political opinion is quite literally a death sentence.) The First Amendment was never intended to give an obnoxious and rude person license to say whatever they want, where ever they want, and at whatever volume they want. |

The bus driver is in charge of the bus and is responsible for your safety and the safety of all of the other passengers.
When you are shouting across the bus you can be very distracting to the driver.
The driver can ask you to be quiet for the purpose of the safe operation of the bus. |

The first amendment pertains to the government not to bus drivers. He can tell you to shut up. |

You can say almost anything you want within the confines of the law, but if an authority figure tells you to shut up, that means you shut up. You clearly don't understand what freedom of speech means. |

Don't be ridiculous. Your bus driver can and SHOULD tell you to shut up if you are causing a commotion on a crowded school bus. The way you act could likely cause an accident. |

Yes but the people on that bus also have the right to not hear you. You interrupt their pursuit of happiness. |

Um...
"CONGRESS shall make no law [violating free speech]..."
Then there was an amendment that applied it to state and local governments, too.
Nothing about teachers/bus drivers. |

he can tell you to stop talking if he believes it interferes with the safety of the children in the bus.
even if you talking didn't interfere, in court he would say it did, and you would lose.
so yes, if he tells you to stop talking, you legally have to stop talking.
the same principle applies to these situations: it is illegal to yell FIRE in a crowded room. It is illegal to talk in class if it interferes with the education of your fellow classmates.
if you were off the bus out in the park or something you could say what ever you want and the bus driver couldn't stop you. |

you can say what ever you want to say
as long as it isnt insulting to anyone..or being so loud that its distracting the bus driver or fellow passengers. |

So why were you shouting
Surely the other passengers are entitled to a peaceful journey without you shouting across the bus
freedom of speech is one thing, but shouting is entirely different
Off course the bus driver has every right to tell you to stop shouting
maybe you should have more manners in future
and give other people more respect |

In a school setting, and a school bus is a school setting, you don't have that right. Students in public schools have a limited right of free speech. The student's right's to speak freely has to be balanced against the administration's right to carry out its educational mission and to maintain discipline. |

OH did it hurt your little feelings? I suggest you respect your bus drivers right to work in an environment without obnoxious distractions. After all they have many lives in their hands. I'm sure the next step if your rude again is you will be suspended from using the bus, resulting in your parents finding out they raised a brat. |

It is a school bus. Your constitutional rights don't apply in this situation. You also have to remember that even when you have that freedom you must not step on others' rights. Shouting across a bus is rude and annoying. Have some consideration for the other people on the bus. |

Freedom of speech is not about how loud you can say it, it's about having the right to say it at all.
when you act in a disruptive manner on a school bus you put people's lives in danger, your life, the driver's, the other passengers and anyone else on the road in the path of the bus. What rights do you think those people have? |

No, considering you signed a contract of sorts to be on the bus. |

Your right to free speech is not protected on a bus. By regulation, you must obey the bus driver, else face being kicked off or worse (in your case - suspension or explusion from school).
If you want to excercise your rights, go to the public street corner and preach to your hearts delight. |
