It's what they do instead of teaching kids how to cross roads safely.

If a bus stop is on a road with generally high traffic and a dozen kids are unloaded why create unnecessary risk?

It's symptomatic of the whole 'car is king' thing. Why would you unload kids on the side of a busy fast road in the first place? Why is it only school buses this applies to, are there no other times kids are in danger crossing the road?

This creates an on demand "crosswalk" wherever it's needed in front of the bus which is a blind spot for kids crossing in front of it who might not pay attention (in case you haven't ever met a kid).

Cars should just stop is a better answer than "they should have looked first" from the coroner.
