mocking chants every other morning
The context doesn't refer to it again and I think is it possible something about religion but why every other day ?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

taunting songs/ditties every morning
If she took the later bus the children in it didn't know who she was so she didn't get taunted.
BTW, every other morning here refers to all the other mornings, not alternate mornings.
children on the usual bus
Here, 'every other day' doesn't mean 'on alternate days' — it means 'on all the other days' — i.e. those days when she caught the usual (earlier) bus with the unkind kids who made fun of her.
