You honestly think that everyone would be happy if kids only got sent to schools closest to them. I would give it 1 year and Al Sharpton would be picketing every slum ghetto school downtown because it was nearly 100% African American students and they weren't getting what the needed. There is no WAY that neighborhoods schools solves the problem. I'm not saying i'm for or against either one, frankly I went to private schools. I am saying that only those in affluent areas that can dump money beyond public funding into their schools would be happy. The schools in the ghetto would be on the racial crime bus so fast our heads would spin. Anyone that thinks otherwise needs to call their proctologist to get help finding their head!
