[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TBH, I don't understand why this is such a big deal. It's one day for your kids HS graduation, you can suck it up and make the long drive to UMBC. [/quote]

Not everyone is as lucky or as healthy or as prosperous as you where they have a car, can easily take off work and drive 2 hours.  Check your privilege.[/quote]
The specific health issues and work schedule of every graduation guest can’t possibly be taken into consideration and accommodated. MCPS is offering transportation to those who cannot drive.[/quote]

Yes but MCPS is also saying that the costs of busing are minimal which implies that they expect most people to drive themselves.  Therefore, MCPS is shifting the costs (time and transport)  to families. [/quote]

Those costs would exist at DAR too.[/quote]

Who said the only alternative was DAR?  We have schools like Damascus HS where parents are fundraising amongst themselves to pay the 20K$ in expenses it would take to hold their graduation at their own school athletic field rather than drive out to Baltimore.[/quote]
