[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does Arlington County have busses?  I FFX County, a lot of kids (too many) take the bus so the drop off is not too terrible.[/quote]

When I grew up, only the poor kids took the bus.  They were pretty unruly and had long routes that went through bad neighborhoods. If a parent could drop off their kid to school, they did.  My parents couldn't drop me off because they both worked early, I took the bus for a few years and then decided I'd rather walk the 1 mile instead of take the bus when I was old enough.  When I went to high school, I always had an upperclassmen friend that could drive me and when I turned 16 my parents gave me their old car.

I've met a lot of people with similarly bad memories of school buses and would prefer to just drop their kid off.

DS, 9, takes the bus in Arlington (and has a long trip) and loves the bus.  The comments about the entitlement of some of the parents does make me laugh.  We're in N Arlington but DS goes to one of the countywide schools precisely so that we can avoid these people.[/quote]
