[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loudoun does it right -- elementary starts at 7:50 b/c they know parents need to get the kids to school when they go to work and they can do aftercare if they need it.  MS is 8:30 (across the board) and HS is 9:00.  The MS and HS kids can get themselves to school.

Sure, there would be complainers about the HS being "so late" -- but somehow, those HS kids get to practices and jobs.

LCPS gets the basics right -- they make decisions and implement them, they provide bus transportion for reasonable distances (not true in FCPS).  FCPS -- seems mired in hand-wringing and indecision.  Give me fewer bells and whistles and more meat/potatoes.[/quote]

Loudoun County parent here and you get a big AMEN! from me.[/quote]
But in some parts of Loudoun, you can't even attend your neighborhood ES because of overcrowding. And you still have half-day kindergarten. And there are some elementary schools without playgrounds because LCPS just started funding playgrounds (instead of making PTAs do it) and schools that didn't already have them weren't grandfathered. I don't call attending a neighborhood school, playgrounds and full-day kindergarten "bells and whistles."[/quote]
