When Does Ensuring Child Stability Require Bus Routing?
Summary
This is why, when the shift in your family’s residence allows it, parents should do their best to let kids attend the same school, even if it requires the use of public or private transportation. Here are some aspects to consider: According to the National Center for Education Statistics of the U.S. Department of Education, the number of students transported to school at public expense has drastically increased since the 30s (the earliest available data) and this imposed a rise in school transportation costs from $823,866 (adjusted to account for inflation) in 1929-1930 to $27,172,860 in 2017-2018 (the latest statistics available). Although it is true that school busing is less polluting than parents’ driving, there are always more environmentally friendly means of transport such as bike, skate boards and walking. Statistics show that school busing, cycling, skate boarding and walking are much safer than commuting in private cars. Moreover, the latter ones also bring along the advantage of forcing kids to physically exercise, which is not a bad thing for a generation hooked on computers and gaming consoles.
