Imagine that you have a child that is entering high school and the School District says that your child cannot attend their neighborhood school or two other schools because they have the wrong color of skin. Imagine your child being bused to a school across the city that they don't want to go to. Imagine your child spending almost 2 hours on a public bus trying to get home from school because they participated in an after school activity. Imagine spending 30 minutes in the car each way to get to a parent/teacher conference or a PTA meeting. Imagine that you are a parent who does not have a car. Imagine walking in the shoes of a parent who is forced to go through this before you criticize them.

this woman needs to chill out. her daughter's going to be socially scarred by her actions wherever she goes, and ballard isn't even that good of a school. i mean, sure there are lots of white kids, but there are some pretty extraordinary rifts among the students there. and i guess their athletics are mediocre enough, but come on. get a life, mom.
