[quote=Anonymous]The thing about the "bus the kids" plan is that it is only reasonable if there is a large enough cohort of kids from one neighborhood attending one or two proximate schools to fill a bus. If you're talking about one or two kids from SE going to Janney and one or two kids from SE going to Powell (or somewhere else not in upper NW), it stops being a reasonable idea pretty quickly. The point of a neighborhood school system is that children have a school that is either walking distance or a very short drive/bus ride/whatever. I completely understand that many elementary schools in the city are sub-par and that a lot of people would rather drive their kids across town than send their kids to the neighborhood school, but that is not a transportation issue. Spending money on busing kids across town is not going to improve the failing neighborhood schools that necessitate the buses, which is actually the fundamental problem. All DC kids should be able to walk to a decent public school from their home. That that is not the reality is what is lame, NYC PP.[/quote]
