[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And fwiw, yes, aftercare not starting for a few weeks is normal. Even our NYC school, which was so much nicer than anything in DC took a few weeks for aftercare to begin. And that's a city that actually is organized enough to provide transportation for its students.

Aftercare starts after school starts because they have to have the kids enroll for it.

Agree that DC should have buses for those who can't use metro, due to age or location. I have never heard a good argument against buses in DC. The city buses manage just fine.[/quote]

You must be new to DC, so welcome.

The charter school movement started here in DC as a grassroots movement by as few parents back in the 90s. As it is now, there was a lot of battles between the neighborhood schools and the "chartered" schools that opened back then. This was before the "Bill on the Hill" and we were on our own. No facilities finding and no buses. The city still views us a seperate but equal. Ironic, but if you were here trying to educate a child in the 90s - worth it. [/quote]

Not everyone that has an idea that you disagree with is "new to DC".[/quote]
