[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here again, those who had or have DC's that opted for bus transportation, was your kid in elementary school? It's obviously easier to have both kids at the same school, but a long bus ride for a younger kid just seems stressful.[/quote]

I have two kids in the lower school that take the bus. We live about 20 minutes away and the bus ride is 20-25 minutes. My kids don’t mind the bus but I don’t know how they would feel about a longer ride. It’s a long day for 4-7 year olds. It would be hard to do any activities on weekdays. Also if your kid does any after school program you have to pick them up.

Lastly there are a lot of requests for parents to come to events in the middle of the day in lower school. You don’t have to go but the kids without parents there do notice. It’s just the culture of the school. I’m always surprised by how many parents are frustrated by these requests when they knew they were sending their kid to school 30-45 minutes away. It also makes it hard to do play dates. This stuff probably matters less in middle and upper school.[/quote]
