In some regions, it’d mean you have to haul your kid around 30 miles to get them out of a marginally-run school, with 3rd-rate teachers, and it’d mean these poor schools having to shut down within three years because no one wants their kids there.
An excerpt from a Michigan NPR site of Nov 12, 2013 reflecting on Busing in Detroit in the 1970s.
Often wondered how that worked out for the city.

“Nancy Jennings highlighted the problems with busing on our Facebook page:
When I was bused in 1975, I went from my relatively well resourced all black school to an all white school that was far more rough around the edges with much poorer environment than I had experienced before. Looking back I don’t think that was the original intent of pushing for busing.
The intent of the case was to make it possible for all students in Detroit to have access to the same high quality education. Forty years later we are still looking for ways to achieve that goal.”
And ln some cases, like the Kansas City Public School system fiasco, after having millions of dollars, extorted from taxpayers who aren’t served by the schools, thrown into the toilet only to continue to fail. All thanks to one tyrant in black robes.
The school is not the building. It is the administrators and teachers (and students). Better to let those "schools" shut down to free up the building for a real school.
