[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The commute would get me down. Do you work anywhere near TR?[/quote]

OP here. I am quite concerned about that. DH would generally drop DC off on way to work - meaning get off metro to walk DC to school, then reboard metro for the remainder of his commute. I will remain a SAHM to my infant and will have to drag the baby to and from 2R (or TEC) for pickup - whether by metro or driving - most likely a mix.

While 2R likely offers more opps (and actually required volunteer time) to get involved, I question whether we would do much, since we'll probably have a hard enough time just with the basics of our lives, without extra trips to school after hours and such. And parking near 2R seems virtually nonexistent. It would be nice to go to the local school and put more into our local community, but 2R seems to be far and away better, academically, in elementary school years.[/quote]

20:42 here.  I'm the mom of a charter student, so I'm all about charters.  But remember: this is just for a 3 year old.  And you have an infant.  And the TR commute is really far from Takoma area.  If I were you, I'd take the TEC spot.  As you intuit, being more involved in a neighborhood school means you can ensure a better experience for your child.[/quote]
