It is honestly necessary sometimes. My daughter was eventually taken out of school by us entirely and put in a (public) online school because of how severely she was being bullied, but before that, we had to take her to school because she could handle getting on the bus with all the kids being horrible to her every morning and afternoon.
For a while, she was allowed to listen to an mp3 player with earbuds, but then they started just shouting over the earbuds. And bus drivers barely give a shit considering how low they're paid.
So yeah, sometimes people drive their kids to school for a reason.
But 53% of people??
Considering the current division, yes. There's also a lot of homeschooling because they don't want their children taught anything from 'state'.
