[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps "soul-crushing" had to do with the fact that you were at work and not a kid going to school?

Sure, it makes for a long day (home to bus, bus to school, and the reverse) but they get to ride the bus with their friends and blow off some post-school steam. Some kids will chat, some will participate in typical MS bus antics, some will listen to music.

I grew up in the suburbs and took a bus to my middle school across town. I find it really unusual to be able to walk to both an ES and then a MS.

[quote=Anonymous]The commute to either Latin from Capitol Hill seems kind of rough, even with the buses. How do the kids cope? What do they do with all that time? I've read here that older kids often take Metro and walk from Ft Totten but that seems like a pretty long walk too after a decent Metro ride.

I used to have a similar sort of commute to my job and found it pretty soul crushing. Probably the thing that gives me the biggest pause with either Latin.[/quote][/quote]

Thank you for sharing; this is really helpful! Realizing now I'd been thinking of it as a solitary commute. And suddenly recalling - fondly! - the year I rode the school bus to my own suburban HS.[/quote]
