Question 14 • Social Problems 1: A World in Crisis (IS)

Bussing often means that minority students have to travel well outside their neighborhoods to go to school. This travel can also be time consuming. What disadvantage of desegregation does this illustrate?

Answer
A
Desegregation was important in earlier eras but is less necessary today.
B
Exposure to students from other cultures has negative effects.
C
Bussed students have significantly less time for homework and activities.
D
There shouldn’t be much of an impact as minority students have free time on the bus.

Explanation

The question highlights that bussing requires students to travel long distances and takes up time. That travel can leave them with less time for homework and extracurricular activities, which is the disadvantage described in choice C. The other choices do not address the time cost of commuting.
