[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not read through all of the previous posts, so I apologize in advance if I'm missing something, but for those who state that diversity is their main goal - do you think that bussing kids from one end of the county to the other, the result being only a slight change in diversity is more important than having kids bussed out of their neighborhoods and schools that they can walk to?  It's fine if that is the thought, I'm just wondering if it is.[/quote]

[b]Over a third of kids are bussed already due to choice schools, including lots of kids who presumably could be walking to neighborhood schools. Arlingtonians are fine with bussing kids all over the county[/b]. [/quote]

I'm assuming that parents who bus their kids to choice schools are happy to do so because they think their child will be getting something preferable at the choice school, be it diversity, special focus, higher quality, etc. That doesn't mean people will be happy to bus them further away if it means their child either won't be getting anything better, or may be getting something worse than their neighborhood school.

Ah, but it will be their neighborhood school.[/quote]

How do you figure that?  There’s a difference between a neighborhood school and an assigned school.[/quote]
