The schools in the 80s and 90s were predominately white, but that has changed since and METCO has actually really helped students do better in school. However, busing was a huge burden to the students that were being forced to take the hour long ride. Most of the time the students of color were the ones who were being asked to take the bus to the suburban school, and for many parents that was no longer worth it after a few years because the kids would often travel through hostile neighborhoods as well as the long ride.]]> 2019-11-21 16:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherkearney/85csqujemq7v/wish/414784816 The busing crisis of the 1970s highlighted the racial tensions in Boston https://padlet.com/christopherkearney/85csqujemq7v/wish/414784977 2019-11-21 16:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherkearney/85csqujemq7v/wish/414784977 https://padlet.com/christopherkearney/85csqujemq7v/wish/414785436 Black students were forced to travel much further distances to just get to school.
