Can you answer my question please instead of resorting to name calling? THis is the problem.  Only in DCUM, if someone questions the solution to a problem to see if it is actually addressing the issue, the immediate response is anger. Do you agree kids should have 45 minutes bus rides to a school? Do you really think  that changing the boundaries will decrease the achievement gap? [/quote]

Let's ask some other questions.

What is the maximum acceptable length of a bus ride, in minutes?
[b]
What benefits from boundary adjustments might there be, other than decreasing the achievement gap, or is decreasing the achievement gap the sole measure of educational benefit[/b]?[/quote]

[b]There are [/b]other benefits -- people are choosing to focus on the achievement gap because its practically intractable.  So if we can't fix it -- hey why do anything?[/quote]

We should look at it from another way: if doing something would cause negative impact (e.g. longer bus rides), why doing it?
[/quote]

I have trouble believing this argument is really about long bus rides -- when people are clamoring to get their kids in CES and magnets which have long bus rides. [/quote]
