[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People keep mentioning NYC but do they really bus all kids to any school they want to attend in any Burrough in a city school-only bus door to door?[/quote]

No, it's just that hostile "I used to live in NYC so I know better than you" attitude.[/quote]

It's not hostile. And that's not why I know better than you, defensive mother, who talks about walkability while.driving your child to their neighborhood dcps that's five blocks from your house. It's amazing, the number of ib families thqt drive to our neighborhood school. Amazing and sad.

New York provides busing for any elementary school child who attends a school more than one mile from their house, if they attend a school within that borough. They do this by setting out bus routes at the beginning of the year. And I'd honestly be surprised if they spend 100million on it. Dc spending that much just on special Ed students though is no surprise. Dc spends absurd amounts.for not all that much, perhaps because they are run by the same kind of math geniuses that give us defense department budgets.

Maybe all these basis kids taking calculus in ninth grade will eventually produce some accountant s capable of calculating the real.cost of goods and services, but I'm not holding my breath.[/quote]
