Last time I argued about school bus safety and kids running across roads without looking, I got ripped apart by Americans. In Australia we teach kids to hop off buses safely and look both ways before crossing a road after the bus has pulled away.
"Stop when red lights are flashing" on our school buses. Sure, like...the kid has right-of-way, but that doesn't mean you can just turn your brain off and cross.
Not that I don't see on average at least 1 person a day cross a street diagonally, slowly, looking at their phone or eyes straight-forward, letting Jesus take the wheel.
Anytime I cross a street, my head is on a damn swivel.
Yeah like by the same damn logic you wouldn't teach the kids to look both ways when crossing the street when you have a green light either. You do it always when you cross regardless of the situation because some people break the rules. There are plenty of dead people who had the right of way.

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.
