[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a year away from the possible 5th grade move to middle, but I at this point I can't imagine putting my kid on a city bus every day to get to/from school. I would personally be able to swing the drive, but is it out of the question for DC to provide school busses? I think our kids deserve that. They are exposed to A LOT on mass transit, not to mention the safety issues of not being guaranteed a seat, etc. Especially in situations like Brent where the IB elementary and IB middle schools are so far apart. Not to offer school busses for the DCPS kids is really unacceptable.[/quote]

How do you think kids got to school EVERY day across DC?  When Rhee closed all of the schools were you banging on the table wondering how these kids will get to school each day?  But your precious child who lives on Cap Hill deserves a school bus?   Look around and see how the rest of DC lives.[/quote]

Right, but the dirty secret is that DC DOES offer a bus to to Deal kids coming from Shepherd and Bancroft. The DEAL BUS. There are two routes - Mount Pleasant to Deal and 16th Street Heights to Deal.  It's utter BS that this special bus serves Deal while all other kids in the city are on a fend for yourself transit plan.
