Why does Garland feel the need to place kids in schools that are considered bad by reputation? Just because they didn't build enough good schools for kids to go to does not mean it is right to send them to schools in the hood. Garland, North Garland, and South garland are hood high schools. The element of kids that go there are thugish and gang related. Bussey Middle school is a hood school too. Now all of a sudden they want to bus dozens of North Garland area kids there, because no one wants to willing register their kid to go there? What a bunch of bull! I refuse to send my kids to one of these awful schools because they say I have no choice. Time to do home schooling huh? I heard that there are other parents going through the same issues with Garland Independent School District. Let your voices be heard, and tell them it is not right for them to be carting these kids off to bad schools. They need to put kids in schools where they live. Not over in the hood.
