But then we'd have to provide funding for buses, and that would mean raising property taxes, which we can never ever do
Are there really school systems that refuse to fund buses for students outside walking distance (I mean real walking distance, not lazy fatass walking distance -- i.e. more than a mile or so from the school)? My local elementary school zoned such that probably at least half the students are within walking distance and has a couple of bus routes serving the rest, but has a huge line of parent drop-off/pick-up traffic anyway.
School systems? No, they would probably fund buses in a heartbeat. It's local municipalities and state governments. I hereby curse you with knowledge of Ohio
Aw, fuck.
The bus run but the crotch goblins are too precious to use them... Plus that's what poor people ride... Do you want your child to perceived as poor?
You clearly not thinking about the children
Honestly? Yeah, kinda!
I don't want them to get bullied for not having trendy shoes or something like that, obviously, but I'm hoping to instill in them the right values and attitudes to be the kids who are perceived as cool for bucking the trend instead of conforming to it.
