I read an acticle on transporting high school students to magnet schools; schools with specialized attractive curricula
It occured to me that magnet school buses could bring fun plus special knowledge practice Students would also have the choice of riding the regular bus as well
This differs from
student clubs as the overt purpose is to educate
The buses are the slightly posher microbuses plus the different number of students per bus causes people to be transported faster That gives the kids the courage to get on the Topic bus of their choice
The Chaucer bus
The Math bus
The Venga bus
The LBGTQ bus
The Community college bus
The Get rich bus
On the Chaucer bus it would be normative to talk about Chaucer as well as english literature generally This is a college Prepish activity
The Math bus would be a place to emphasize the Riemann hypothesis
The Venga bus would be the very social techno bus
The LBGTQ bus would be LGBTQ super friendly letting these students more easily find romance
The Community college bus would emphasize nstant careers that can be aquired at community college
The get rich bus would emphasize things like mentoring, LLC formation, Real estate
At my high school there were more than 20 school buses having a magnet topic group of buses would pull lots of people towards things like college prep as well as better social lives
The buses could be ecofriendly as well so students could just be riding green if they felt like it
The money for this comes from the recent manic government urge to fund green things, schools, economic development
I have read at a conservative book review magazine that previously of every 100 students that start high school 20 earn college degrees yet only about 12.5 per hundred are at jobs that require college education
That one more high functioning student per hundred is worth a lot to the economy posh little microbuses may generate a few more high functioning students
Note: UC Davis student bus drivers wage is 9.75 per hour
