[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of these schools lack real diversity and need some busing.[/quote]

Busing is a band-aid. I'd rather see MCPS invest in well thought-out programs at specific schools that are attractive and open to students in upcounty/midcounty. [/quote]

This. They need to scrap busing and have some type of magnet at every high school.[/quote]

As someone who drives my kid to school more often than I would prefer - no. School car traffic and school car drop-off/pick-up are already madness enough. I can't imagine how bad it would be if MCPS scrapped busing.[/quote]

No one is suggesting to stop busses. What they mean is to stop bussing kids to far away schools to control school demographics. It doesn't work. [/quote]

The boundary study is likely to result in FEWER kids on buses (for whatever reason, and I don't care what the reason is anyway. A long school bus ride is a long school bus ride.)

There's a small group of angry current and former residents of Montgomery County, who affiliate themselves with the so-called "Moms For Liberty", who are constantly posting about such topics on social media, saying the same things as the alarmist anonymous posters on DCUM. I have drawn my own conclusions for this. You are free to draw your own as well.[/quote]
