[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not want to force the longer commute on my children. People can make other decisions.[/quote]

My kids can get from the Hill to Basis considerably faster than many kids in the burbs or, hell, at JR can get to their HS. Try to judge less.[/quote]

Basis is barely NW.  And it's not only time, but also the strain on the family.  MCPS has these crazy things called ... school buses! [/quote]

I'm not sure what you mean by "barely NW," but no one would claim Basis was on the Hill. If what you're saying is that there is actually is a decent middle school/HS not that far from the Hill... well, that's my point. DC has this thing called... public buses. Not sure why you think they're a significantly bigger strain than school buses; I actually find them much easier/more reliable because if you miss one or there's a problem with one, there are later ones... and if you need to be at school early for an extracurricular, there are earlier ones.[/quote]

+100. The only reason my kid actually makes it on time to Basis is because there are multiple buses/trains that get him there. He times is so that if he misses his usual bus, he can still take the next few.[/quote]
