[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would pull my kids from Westland/B-CC if bussing happened. Not because of racism (we're a multi-racial family) but because I don't want my kids on the bus for hrs a day and I don't want to have to worry about spending hrs in a car taking them to meet up with friends, or driving themselvesOr, we would move [/quote] I agree. There is a lot of research showing the unhealthy effect of early school start times on adolescents ( http://www.cdc.gov/features/school-start-times/ ). Of course, MCPS just went through this exercise last year., but they were only able to delay the high school start time by 10 minutes. This is an important reason for keeping kids at the local school, so kids don't have to make the early bus stop time. And of course, keeping kids at their local school (where they can walk or a take short bus ride) is also better for the environment and better to minimize traffic congestion.[/quote]
