So what happens if we are in majority white area.
Should we move the school closer to the black suburb or bus the kids in that does not want to come to the school to start with
How about just leave the schools as they are and start cleaning up the under performed schools
The ANC will eventually force all the public schools that can afford it to go private
My Son is in a farm school about a 5 minute drive from the North West province border in Pretoria west rural (around a 15 minute drive from our house).
Since govt took over with the online registrations only thing last year or the year before, the kids in his school come all the way from Soshanguve, Pretoria North, Rosslyn, The Orchards and beyond.
Bus services for both my son's and daughters schools are free so yes.
I remember when I was a kid everyone in the neighbourhood went to the schools right around their homes.
I feel it is a two edged sword but at the same time I thing it's not such a bad thing either, it really is expanding community (instead of isolating it like the old system did) but at the same time it is likely also costing DOE a hell of a lot more cash and the busses can be chaos but it does mean we don't have to drive from work to NW to the Orchards and back to work every day to drop our son off at granny.
