No, that's really not what I was saying.  I was just pointing out that my child already will be bussed from the far end of CC for three years to go to RHPS, so it would be nice if the same population of kids didn't then have to ALSO get bussed way out to the new MS.  [/quote]

I am not in the B-CC cluster. There is an elementary school that is 2 miles away from us. My kid "was bused" (although we actually thought of this as "took the school bus") to an elementary school 5 miles away. Also, there is a middle school that is 2 miles away from us. My kid takes the school bus to a middle school 6 miles away. Also, there is a high school that is 4 miles away from us. My kid will take the school bus to a high school 6 miles away.[/quote]

You also probably have land and no traffic.   I live in Chevy Chase and can walk to three different Elementary schools in around 15 minutes including BE, Somerset and Chevy Chase (3-6) but yet my 5 year old is bused many miles away to RHPS for the sake of economic diversity.  Fine, ok, but then MCPS has no room to tell me diversity doesn't matter and neighborhood schools matter more.  Then why has MCPS totured families in my neighborhood decades if economic diversity isn't important?.  [/quote]
