[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason that these posts seem mean is because of the entitlement of the OP.  If OP had come on and asked, "Does anyone have any suggestions about how to handle transportation?"  the response would have been much different.  She didn't do that.  She was appalled that it wasn't taken care of for her.  It clearly hadn't played any role at all in her decision making process.  Moreover, she dismissed any possibility that she actually be involved in the transportation, one way or the other, car or public transportation.  She sounds like a spoiled brat.[/quote]

Oh, please.

She said, " I clearly wasn't too with it about this. So now I'm scrambling trying to figure this out come August. What do people do?"

Calling her a spoiled brat is complete overkill.[/quote]

NP, OP also said, "I was stricken dumbfounded to hear that the city doesn't provide busing service to school"

That tells me that OP is a little entitled and/or ingnorant.  It is clear that the city cannot bus kids to every different and new charter that sprouts up around the city.  To the PP that says you don't want to send your kid to a school that is failing, that is your choice.  Many inner city schools are failing, what do you want vouchers and a personal driver for you to send your kid to a private school?

This happens in Detroit, New Orleans, LA, Chicago, and NYC.  If the parents don't want to send their kids to failing school in the neighborhood they live in, then they do what it takes to send them to a better school.  Whether it means moving, sleeping overnight for lottery application, having their kid take 2 metros, 2 buses and walking etc.  As mentioned already, the city now provides free city bus service for DC students.  I think that is more than anyone can ask for.

You certainly can't think that the city will foot the cost to send your LO to every OOB DCPS and Charter in the city.  [/quote]
