No you should go to school in the district you live in.

Yeah I do. I think people need it forced on them.
As a kid I was shipped off to a rich school. There a black teacher told me that it was the fault of me a people like me that the school day started a little later. She punked me all the time. I don't think she was racist as much as she was elitist (even though she was hardly rich).
I was one of only about 15 Spanish speaking kids there. We were all bussed in with about 200 black kids. All of us were poor.
We were called beaners, wetbacks, mexicans (even though some were from south america). This by even the black kids who many times for no reason wanted to start fights on the bus. From these guys, yeah it was racism at its young stages.
whatever...it was an experience I'll never forget and feel that it must have at least diminished higher levels of racism that could have grown in all of us.

There are places that still do this? It's one of the most ridiculous policies a school district can have. We used to have it in Seattle and a lot of people simply left the city to live in a place where their kids could go to school where they lived.
Besides, it's not about black and white... it's about rich and poor. White people live in white neighborhoods because they have more money. They spend that money to assure that live among others who have money. It's not that they don't like poor people... they just don't like how poor people act. Unfortunately, black people are more likely to be poor, and so they can't get out of the crummy neighborhoods.

it is so hard on the children who have to travel forever
each day to get to or from school. and it makes it
almost impossible to participate in extracurricular
activities.
that said; it seems to be the best and most effective
tool to force the leaders in some communities to give
all the children in the area at least a half-way decent
education.

I didn't like that I had to travel so far to get to school. But I thought it made sense at the time. How else would you get to know and like people of other races if none of them live near you?
They also had magnet high schools with special vocational training that you had to apply to and be accepted in order to attend. My brother did that, in computers.

Never heard of busing.do you mean bussing ? Segregation was wiped out a long time ago.If there's any problems,it should be stamped out.Yes,I agree with it.Everyone's allowed a decent education,regardless of colour.

sure, why not, if the schools have space. If they do not then they should only allow a small percentage, allowing more people who are in the schools territory.

sure why not. its probably good for kids to get accustomed to seeing different races of people. it really dampens the culture shock later in life.
