One of the women I work with sent her kids to private school. They lived in Louisville.
One day they decided that they couldn’t afford private school any more and would send their kids to public school.
Louisville has forced bussing. So, what did the woman and her family do? The summer before the kids started school, they moved to an area with a school district that was more to their liking.
I believe we used to call that “white flight”. Of course, now you can just home school, thanks to the internet, Khanacademy, MIT online, etc.
Exactly. Who wants to send their child to any “ hate America”, homo-fascist, public school indoctrination center?
I think white flight is still happening in some areas.
Some distant exurban communities about 40 or 50 or 60 miles away from our major cities have seen major growth. Why are such areas growing so much?
One reason could be to find less expensive housing, as so many cities have become so expensive to live in. But there could well be other, unstated, reasons, for so many people being willing to have hour plus long commutes to work, and living so far away from the city and inner suburbs.
