[quote=briansd1]AN, I agree with you. A voucher program for low-income kids (Title I and IDEA) would be good. It would allow those disadvantaged kids to access an education that is currently out of reach.
Even without additional funding for transportation, kids who can commute to better schools would benefit.
I don’t support the Romney plan as is, but with certain caveats, it can work well.[/quote]
They already do, brian, and have done so for many years. They even take the trolley up to SD in the early AMs from the San Ysidro border crossing after they walked across, likely using a relative’s address for attendance purposes ;=} Some are actually Americans (not of Hispanic origin) who live in MX solely because it’s cheaper.
IIRC, students up to age 22 (with a student ID card) can buy MTS bus passes (incl trolley) for $32 month. Hundreds, if not thousands of VEEP and CHOICE kids in SD and zone transfers in South County take the city bus to school. It’s cheaper than gas and lets the working parents focus on keeping their jobs. I myself have rode with busloads of them when my car was in the shop.
