[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The community idea is so overblown by so many. The public school “community” is laughable for our family who came from private. I am sorry but no the public schools have neighbors who know each other but sense of community nope. So if your child is bussed to a different school the school your child attends will have a “community” and you become part of it if you want. White parents just don’t want to have to say out loud that they don’t want their kids going to school with poor non white kids. [/quote] It’s not just white parents. APS families have been polled repeatedly, and across the board a majority want neighborhood schools. Discuss busing all you want, but it’s a waste of time. Blaming unbalanced FARMs numbers on racism is tired and untrue. Not to mention that many of those families that are seen as a problem when grouped in large numbers quite frankly find that attitude offensive.[/quote]
