[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do poor kids want to be bused all over the county?[/quote]

Option 3 has both poor kids being bussed to wealthy school communities and rich kids being bussed to poorer school communities.[/quote]

I understand that but we are hearing from the DCUM crowd who generally sways more wealthy.  We aren’t going to hear here from the poorer families that are also being impacted.  It seems to be taken as a given, though, that the poorer families will be pleased to be bused everywhere.[/quote]

Why would lower income kids want to be bussed and pleased?   I’d be super pissed as we deliberately bought in a lesser neighborhood as it’s more down to earth and what we could afford at the time. We could easily afford to move but that’s not the world we want our kids in.  Bussing is a huge issue for parents without cars, health issues, etc to get kids back and forth for activities, late drop offs, sports, etc.  But, we also know what we say has zero impact.  [/quote]

What leads you to believe you can have zero impact?
