[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is constantly wasting money on new useless initiatives such as Leader in Me.
For a few years, they could just stop wasting money on useless programs and use the money saved to buy school buses.

Who will drive them?[/quote]

Even if we buy more school buses, we don't have drivers.  Are the parents who want earlier school times willing to be drivers?[/quote]

Are you missing the point on purpose or.....

The suggestion is to switch ES and HS times....that would require no more hiring. Bus A going to HS A at 7:10 now goes to ES A at 7:10 and goes to HS A at 8:10, the elementary school's previous time. It's not difficult. There is absolutely no reason elementary school students should be in a classroom at 4:10 pm, but this is the norm around here. I tell my friends around the country and they are all baffled. [/quote]

I'd rather my ES kid get out later than my HS kid.  It would be an issue for families whose siblings do child care and for HS kids with activities, work, and responsibilities at home.  You simply don't get it and want it for your convince.  You don't get that HS kids volunteer, in activities and not just MCPS activities, homework, jobs... so if they aren't getting home till 4:30 they'd be going to bed at 12-1 PM every night to get their homework done.  My kid is still up doing homework as they had activities after school.[/quote]
