[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be shocked if any moms in chi chi 22207 pick up their kid from extended day every day after their job by taking the metro and then a bus, and then loading the kid on the bus and then the metro to get back home.  That's at least an hour of time maybe more like 2 because it's not just the trip, it's the waiting.

But I get it, folks are saying tough luck because option programs are extras we can't afford to worry about.  I mean, when they are YOUR special privileges that you are losing access to for the greater good, you tend to make a fuss about them 22207, and how, but I understand that some animals are more equal than others.[/quote]

Can’t really say she’s wrong, though.  [/quote]

You could say the same of just about any zip code, but that’s irrelevant. Some families in Arlington have a public transit commute. It’s not solely a Key phenomenon. Moving immersion will make the commute easier for some families, harder for others. Key doesn’t get to have a stranglehold on the immersion program, at the inconvenience of a multitude of families (rich and poor!), to make it more convenient for a few.[/quote]

No, but it’s rich hearing the 22207 moms on here explaining away public transportation problems as though they have ever set foot on an ART bus or would ever deign to be seen waiting around with their kids in a bus shelter.  Again, I get it, but it would be more honest to just say this won’t be doable for a lot of folks and that’s okay because their problems aren’t that important overall (as you have done above, basically), rather than pretend that you have made an effort to understand their problems and they are inconsequential.
