Driver did tell him to wait. Then he checked his mirrors and opened the door. You're right though I have seen plenty of tesla drivers blow the buses stop signs.
I honestly get so anxious when I approach a school bus. I rarely do. And so I'm not as mentally conditioned to stop for a bus stop sign as I am a stoplight or stop sign. Simply by virtue of doing one maybe 3 times a year, and doing the others every day for the past 20 years.
I've never come close to accidentally doing anything illegal. But it makes me nervous as fuck. Same with pedestrians and bicyclists. When you grow up in the country, you're not used to pedestrians on the road unless they're walking on the dirt alongside. Nobody crosses the road with the right of way, and there aren't many pedestrians in general.

The kid never looked for traffic on either side and just ran infront of the buss. A passing car would never had any chance to react.
Edit: In my profession I do risk assesments and investigate accidents.
