[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think long bus rides hurt community, since you have less participation from parents.  definitely long bus rides hurt kids' ability to participate in after-school activities, and those also build community.  I think long bus rides impact community because kids in the school together live in very different locations, making it difficult for them to hang out when not in school.  I don't think I'm being hysterical to point this out.[/quote]

I'm the "awful" poster and I think this is a perfectly fine way to advocate against a long bus ride[b] for your own children[/b][/quote]

but I'm advocating for my community, which is wider than just my children.  i think it is a good idea to have connections with our neighbors, because we all need help sometimes.  I sometimes need a neighbor to watch one kid when the other has some sudden medical need, for example.  I want other parents who I can carpool with to camps.  I want to know the teen down the street who can babysit and who is also the older sibling of one of my kids' friends.  these things are tied to location, neighborhood, and often knowing each other from school.

Yeah you can definitely still have that even if they bus your area to a different high school, and to suggest otherwise is unhinged[/quote]

you didn't really read what I wrote, did you.  but also you've generated a strawman to call me unhinged.  it's just a bad-faith method of arguing.[/quote]

No, it is patently absurd to claim a change in school assignments will prevent you from speaking with your neighbors[/quote]
