[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having lived through diversity busing in Delaware that Biden got a ton of flak voting against, it was a nightmare disaster for the entire school system. School quality went down everywhere in Delaware (why do you think property values are so low in Delaware even though it has prime real estate location on the East Coast)?  Kids would have to sit on the buses for hours and get up at like 6 AM just to get to school on time. It ruined sports teams. It ruined walk ability. It caused tons more traffic and lots more pollution.  Schools that were once black and black run were also completely gutted and ruined. Many black residents to this day in Wilmington complain about it.

Busing seems nice on paper, until you actually live with it.  The waste of fuel and increase in pollution rather than have kids walk and bike to school is stupid.  Our kids are already fat enough as it is, so they should be walking to school anyway.[/quote]

If you want to increase walking to school, there are two things you should encourage that have nothing to do with school boundary decisions:

1. less parent taxi service
2. safer routes to school, so that MCPS doesn't have to bus kids who live in walking distance[/quote]

Ok, but that has nothing to do with diversity busing that some people want.

They're talking about busing kids [b]all the way over from areas like silver spring to BCC etc. [/b]to increase diversity.  You'll never be able to walk that no matter what kind of trails you make.  In Delaware, they were busing kids 5, 10, 20+ miles to increase diversity. It ruined everything and just polluted the environment a lot more with they many more diesel burning school busses on the road for no reason. [/quote]

Say what? Kids from Silver Spring already attend B-CC. It's been that way for at least 40 years. Some of that Silver Spring area is even within the high school walking distance (2.0 miles) of B-CC.

That's probably because there are no schools inside the beltway near silver spring other than BCC.[/quote]
