[quote=Anonymous]Busing is affected by traffic, and traffic in Arlington is so bad in part because we are the closest county to a major city. People are coming from the outer counties through our county to get to work, and buses get stuck in that. So it doesn't really mean anything to say, "oh, well some kids in Nebraska travel 20 miles to get to school." Good for them. Their parents chose to live in a small town that doesn't have its own schools, so the kids are bused to the nearest one. (and look at the parents on the thread about the buses to Oakton that are picking up kids an hour before school. They sound pretty p*ssed off.) I'd be willing to send my kid cross-county to a school like TJ HS. I'm not especially willing to send my kid cross-county to Wakefield, especially when a better school (Yorktown) is practically in our backyard. Now if Wakefield was an awesome magnet program, that would change things.[/quote]
