[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please state why starting a new school is "insufferable."  Parents don't like their options, so they start a new school.  Isn't that the American Way?[/quote]

That part is just fine. Admirable even.

"she says she and all the parents are very disappointed that there were no other public school choices in the area. Ironically, Georgetown has no public charter schools — unlike other parts of the District, which has been characterized as “the queen of charter schools.”

This part is insuffersble. There are many, many parts of DC that don't have charter schools. Charter schools couldn't afford to open in Georgetown if they wanted to. Heaven forbid snowflake drive in a AC shuttle bus to a school that is not perfect for brief period while my IB school is getting multi million dollar renovation. Many people have done it and will continue to do it. An hour commute each day? Please. First of all its not an hour (or even half hour if that's what she's implying). Funny how when Georgetown people are bragging about their 10 minute commute into the city, but now all the sudden, it's an undoable commute (and the parents aren't being asked to do the commute). These kids commute 3 times as far to go to summer camp at Valley Mill. Second, thousands of families commute that much and more every single day for 12+ years (not a brief blimp of their kid's education).[/quote]
