Louisville's Success at Maintaining an Integrated School System Profiled in The Atlantic

So then how do you give those children an opportunity without forcing it? It's a fact that reverting to the neighborhood school system will essentially remove most of the diversity from classrooms. If there's a better way to promote diversity without bussing then I am all ears, but the reality is that there is no perfect solution that will make everyone happy.

I personally believe that having children raised and educated in a diverse classroom is worth the inconvenience of a longer bus ride. I was riding buses for over an hour every day that I went to a JCPS school and it's really not that bad, in the morning most kids sleep and then in the afternoon kids would make friends with other kids. It was a slight inconvenience, but I got to grow up with kids I would have never met had I not gone to schools that were out of my neighborhood and I'm definitely a more open minded person because of it.
