[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our draft bus school schedule is out and our route is not scheduled to start until 8:40 am. That's nearly half an hour later than last year but bell times are only scheduled at 10 minutes later than last year. What is up with that?  In the old system, I could take the kids to the bus stop and still get to work before 9 am, now I don't think the bus will even get to our stop until 8:50 which means getting to work close to 9:30.  The wait list for before care at our school is years long, what are other parents planning to do, just suck it up and be late to work everyday?  We are a tier 1 school, I can't even imagine what working parents in tier 2 schools have to deal with.[/quote]

Here's a solution.  Go private.

We are in private.  School starts at 8 with 7:30 am drop-off for free.  Dismissal at 3 pm with aftercare available as needed.  Annual tuition &lt;$10K a year.  Better education and no bureaucracy.[/quote]

I agree. We applied to a top 5 school and receive 68% financial aid. Cost is $10K a year and it comes with breakfast and lunch, which are delicious. Organic, lots of options etc... 8:00am to 3:30pm for the entire school and can drop off as easy as 7:15am and free one hour aftercare. ($6/hr after that.) Class sizes 12-16 for a grades. Lots of recess, field trips, STEM, gardening, PE 4-5x a week, art 2-3x, music 2x.  We will never go back to public. I would give up
a lot of luxuries (cars, bigger house, extracurriculars) for an education like this. Most people won't do that though. Status or more important than education in this country.

You understand that you do not have the income to spend $30,000 and are on a major scholarship so the brag makes no sense.  You are not giving up that much if you are only paying $10,000 and someone else is paying a lot more to give you that huge benefit.  Hope you thank the friends parents who are paying more to supplement your kid.  You aren't giving up luxurious as you probably would not have had a bigger house or car for an extra $10,000 a year.[/quote]
