[quote=Anonymous]We just spent a year with a soul crushing commute to an immersion charter school to try it out. I did appreciate the bonding time with my PK 3 child and the experience at the immersion school was fine. However, it was really difficult to be part of the community of the school because we lived far away. Because my child had to do before care and after care, we had to be very deliberate about interacting with teachers. Lastly, driving in DC is insane. There's some atrocious driving behavior that we witnessed on a daily basis. Unless you have the ability to be totally zen about it, it wears on you. We did the lottery again and ended up choosing a school in our neighborhood. We are sad about losing the immersion experience, but feel good about how our lifestyle should improve. That said, you can always try the commute for a year.[/quote]
