Why don't kids just bike to school anymore.
That and (in America at least) closing neighborhood schools to consolidate them into larger ones further away. They're allegedly better because they can offer more variety of classes and amenities, but losing local schools, which serve as a focus of the community, can destroy neighborhoods. (Example: English Avenue School closing in 1995, and the surrounding neighborhood suffering a huge increase in crime shortly thereafter.)
When people without kids say they shouldn't have to pay education tax, I tell them good schools reduces gang activity.
