[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC pays for the transportation of public school students as the counties and schools districts do.  Private school students have to pay their own way, as it should be.  While I appreciate making every penny count, its hard to be sympathetic given families pay so much for many privates.  [/quote]
The problem is that you're just plain wrong on the facts.  DC does subsidize transportation for private school students, just as much as it subsidizes for public school students.  
[quote]The School Transit Subsidy Program provides reduced fares for District students who use Metrobus, Metrorail, or the DC Circulator to travel to and from school. This program serves students attending a DCPS school, Charter [u]and Private Schools[/u] as well as students participating in educational programs in the District.
