[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live a little under 1.5 miles from Jefferson and just over 2 miles from Gunston, but because of where the boundary is my kid rides the bus to Gunston. Seems preety dicey to me when he wants to ride his bike (has to ride down Glebe and get under 395 while crossing several on and off ramps). Would never in a million years occur to me to complain about this or insist that we switch to a "walkable" middle school. Life isn't perfect and I can't believe how many people think that their kid should be entitled to the public school experience that they have decided is optimal, over what is best for the 20,000 student population as a whole. Get over yourselves. [/quote]

Agree.  We live 1.8 miles from W-L.  Fairly flat, easy ride miles.  We live 2.0 miles to Wakefield.  These 2 miles include basically a mountain, nearly impossible to bike.  But we are inbound (and bus riders) for Wakefield.  
I understand that change is hard and there will be some people who are unhappy.  But we have to look at the whole picture.  We are a COMMUNITY.    [/quote]
You are essentially equidistant to those two schools.  Of course you shouldn't care which one you go to.[/quote]
