First of all, I emphatise with the driver. I can attest to the unruly and noisy behaviour of Indian children.. for at my fren's condo.. they are extremely LOUD, RUDE, and very very ROWDY when even alone.
However, I don't understand how the kids could have got off the bus without the driver allowing them to do so.
It is my most honest opinion, that the driver should have stopped the bus, called the school, and also his company.. and let them know of his situation. being distracted when driving is definitely not a good thing. A driver needs to focus on the road and the surroundings. Not to have to owrry about the kids in the bus misbehaving.
He should have stopped and not allowed the kids to get off. He has every right to do so, as if he can't driver safely, then he shouldn't be driving at all. But.. the end result is... the students got home by themselves.. and he has no reason to say that he did not stop them.

I don't think those kids should have been made to go home on their own.. especially when the driver was tasked to send them home via the bus he drove.
This is a lesson to all SG ppl.. don't let your emotions overcome your senses. Rather then let those kids go home by themselves.. make them realize that if they don't behave, the bus won't move.. and they can't get off. The drivers' duty is to send them home, so the kids' safety is his responsibility.
sigh.. play by the rules.. use the rules to your advantage.. don't let others use them to screw you
