[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t always take public transportation when you have to get kids from point A to B. Downtown DC to Takoma Park is a nightmare. [/quote]

What are you talking about? Takes 20 mins by car. I commute by metro and it’s 12 mins to Union station.[/quote]

+1. It's never been a problem for me.[/quote]

Same here — part of the reason we moved here.  TP is incredibly convenient to downtown DC.[/quote]

There are a lot of terrible things about Takoma Park (people there supported secession back in the 90s and don't support school integration today) but the commute to DC isn't one of them.[/quote]

I’ll bite. I have only lived here a couple of years so can’t be blamed for “secession” - though I think what you’re talking about is when MoCo absorbed the PG part of the city? Which is the opposite of secession. But what school integration is it that you keep banging on about? 1) our schools are diverse - look at the stats and 2) or schools are HUGE - there are 8-10 classes per grade level, where exactly are we expected to “integrate” with? Who do you think should be going to TKPK schools who is not currently? Why is this something you are repeatedly bringing up about TKPK but not anywhere else? BTW, Piney Branch is a focus school, so not exactly exclusive, wealthy or high achieving.[/quote]
