[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please keep in mind that DC has no school buses. That logistical nightmare alone should make you stay in Maryland. I'm on year 11 of driving my kids to school and I'm about sick of it. Have they had a good education? Yes. No problems on that front. [/quote] Do your kids go to school OOB? Charters? DCPS is set up for most elementary and middle schools to be walkable to all kids in their zone. In our neighborhood, kids are walking to and from school alone by 5th, and pretty much all MS kids walk alone (well, in groups, but without parents). Some MS kids take the bus, again in groups. HS kids take the bus or ride metro. Public transit us free for students and it's common for kids to ride together. There is no need for school buses in DC and no reason for car commutes unless you set it up to make it necessary (lottery into an OOB or charter far from your home).[/quote]
