[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure the original admits and actual cohorts are the same.

I have a kid who is at TPMS magnet. We are walking distance. If they get into Blair that's great. But if we lived in Potomac and getting into and attending TPMS or Blair meant a 60-90 minute bus ride 2x a day, as much as we love the education, I don't think we'd do that. We'd either decline or move (and I this RE climate that ain't happening for most people).

I would guess a lot of east/down county kids accept initially, and a lot of close to the river kids decline when faced with what the days actually look like. Unless they've been attending TPMS already with success (and as someone who literally has parents picking up kids parking in front of my house, there a lot of kids whose parents pick them up at 3pm daily to drive them in their own very nice cars back to wherever). Good for them. But what I am saying is, the long bus ride would be a real quality of life crusher. [/quote]

Not at all. Many kids make the best of the bus ride. They use that time to do homework or even chat with friends. It's not that bad. Really.[/quote]
