[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Busing does not work. I have worked in schools where kids were bused. The prosperous just send their kids to private-and you end up with a bunch of poor kids who live on the other side of town.[/quote] Were the distances as short as the distance between, say, Yorktown HS and Nauck (6.7 miles) or Country Club Hills and Wakefield HS (5.4 miles)? Lots of kids in other counties travel further than that to get to their assigned schools. Time for Arlington to cease with the talk about being progressive, and start walking the walk. [/quote] Your fixation on mileage is dumb because it infers it would take 5 or 6 minutes to drive 5.4 miles. If you bus from CC Hills to Wakefield, that's a 30-minute bus ride in rush-hour traffic without making the stops to pick up and drop off students. 5 or 6 miles in Arlington is the equivalent of 15 or 20 in B.F. Iowa. Stop being so disingenuous.[/quote]
