[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see why busing is bad. I went to a school about 15 miles away and it was only a 30 min ride. I think time on bus matters but 30 min is fine. [/quote]

I guess you lived in a place with no traffic or roads with stop lights and speed limits?

Putting that aside, my kid attends a school further away due to a special program. It’s not the bus ride itself that is the big issue. It’s if you are performing in a thing or playing in a sport you ride the bus home only to turn back around for your practice or rehearsal. Or you go home and come back for the Friday night game and need to be dropped and picked up. Or if you stay after school for an activity or make up test, there’s no bus so parent needs to make a long round trip in rush hour traffic. Oh and then there’s a parent meeting or PTA this or that and it’s another round trip. I have another kid in the neighborhood school and it is like night and day how much easier it is to deal with the back and forth when the school is close by before kids can drive themselves.
