[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think you underestimate hardships faced by lower income families when their assigned schools are further away. I understand you are well intentioned, but well intentioned policies can hurt the very people whom you were trying to help. Many low income families do not have cars. They take public transport or walk to school. How do you want these parents to be involved in their kids' schools if they can't get there easily? If a child is sick, and the parents have to come pick them up from school, [b]you realize that this child will have to walk further home from school[/b]? I guess for the good of the whole county, it's worth it for these families to face a bit more hardships.[/quote] But I thought that you were talking about long-distance busing, across the county? That's a long walk.[/quote]
