[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is criticizing charters on this thread. The title has DCPS and charters in it.

The conversation turned to access, providing busing would provide real access to a crazy lottery system, DCPS or charter no matter the location.

Even DCPS that are located near city buses are not accessible to a single parent or a family with two working parents who cannot spend 2 hours in the morning going all over the city to where they lotteried and then getting to their job.[/quote]

Have you even seen a map where is shows a school and where kids travel to come to that school? Multiply that by hundreds and tell me how a city can begin to have a bus system to accommodate school choice in this city without is paying 50% tax rate to City? [/quote]

NYC does it. Moco does it. It is really not as complicated as you think. [/quote]

NYC is not a comparison. MoCo kids have schools miles away, how is this a comparison? Give me one address where the neighborhood school is not walkable AND there is not a city bus accessible? For 95%+ of the time, the neighborhood school is walkable. [/quote]

More like 99.9%.[/quote]
