16. "RE: Busing."
In response to In response to 11


          

I live in L.A and most of the inner city schools here are sad. We're having a huge problem right now with a lot of students not having books, desks, or chairs. The tests (SAT, etc) are improving but the conditions in our urban schools aren't. so that leaves a lot of students unable to compete. I don't see the problem with busing. I'd like my child to attend a multi-ethnic school but never a school populated by 90% of one race.
True, the education of our children is our responsibility but some parents aren't equipped to teach and can't teach everything a child gets from attending school with other children. By homeschooling, I feel that the child misses out on a lot. I agree with jideff215:"personally i do not want to send my child to a school where its' student body is all one race- i think that promotes unilateral thought and a closeminded attitude." You can't protect children from real life. They will encounter racism at some point in their lives. Prepare them for it. DOnt' shield them from it. It can't be done. I find that racism exists in my son's 90% black school. And sadly its black against black racism. A lot of the teachers at inner city schools stereotype their students as young as 6 years old. Appalling ain't it? Not to mention the classes are overcrowded so most of the kids don't get the attention they need. AND, the school board usually hires anyone to teach our kids (it's easy to become a teacher nowadays. and you may be surprised at how many teachers don't know the first thing about teaching).

y'all *really* think" that you're tricking somebody into something don't you? what you don't realize is that most women decide within the first 5 minutes of meeting a dude whether or not they'll sleep with him. all your "game" is merely entertainment. - H
