[quote=Anonymous]one piece of unsolicited advice  - the bus is a wonderful thing and makes all sorts of schools possible, but do be mindful of how much time your child will spend on it each day.  We moved my 6 yr old from a wonderful school (to another, not as wonderful but still nice school) after a year because he couldn't take being on the bus for 50 min each way.  The schools will tell you the buses are like family, the kids are happy, consider the bus much-needed down-time, etc, all of which is true, but it's still a LONG time to sit and for us it meant a kid who got out of school at 3:45 and home at 4:45 NEEDING to run around for 20-30 min before we could attempt much of anything whether it be reading, piano, or just playing more quietly.  Now as a 6 yr old he didn't have much homework, but the older kids we know on the bus really struggled with finding time to get everything done.  My kid is so much happier with more time to play and less time commuting.  When we get closer to middle school, when I care much more about being in the most appropriate school, we will likely move to be nearer to the school DC will attend.  Again - completely unsolicited, but I wish I had thought this through a bit more before we started school last year.  [/quote]
