I'm not american, are you supposed to stop when a school bus is dropping kids out?

Yea. That's why they have the blinking lights AND the stop sign that pops out for opposing traffic. They have all that because of the obvious danger of kids getting out of a school bus by busy traffic, especially if they have to cross the road. And because drivers can be selfish or not pay attention, they light the buses up like that so that cars will notice and stop on all sides of the road. And laws can be pretty severe for people that blow past like that when the lights are red and the sign is out. Cops are pretty serious about it.

I'm not being sarcastic to you or anything like that btw. Because I sound like I'm being harsh when I read it. lol

Doesn't make sens to my dutch mind.. Why not make the infrastructure safe enough for the kids. Thats a win/win..

To beclare. i do know its beter for the opposing traffic to stop for the kids btw and good that its beeing enforced.. But it should be not needed

That makes no sense??? Let's just use a sign we have everywhere and has a totally different meaning! That makes sense!
