[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of anti-social person are you that you just moved here yet have no interest in getting to know your immediate neighbors?  The families your kids go to school with?  Community is dead.[/quote]

She said she works from home and the mornings are her busiest. Should she sacrifice her job to talk gossip for 15 or so minutes?   :roll:  My ES kids go to school so late now, [b]thanks to the whiny high schoolers wanting more sleep[/b].  They don't even get picked up until 9:00am from our bus stop.  That is leaving around 8:50am and getting back at 9:10am.  That may not be feasible for a WOHM.  We relocate every 2-3 years and this last move was the only time, no one in the neighborhood came to introduce themselves after we moved in.  There is no community here.  The bus stop moms aren't the ones looking to be friendly with others.  It is a negative bunch.  Her showing up to play the game instead of working, when her kids can clearly walk on their own - is the problem.  You are guilting her into being like this.  It is ridiculous.  [/quote]

You're very ignorant....

Well starting next week, my ES kids are walking home from the bus stop in the dark so the teens can go 20min later to school. They have ZERO chance to play outside after school as they don't get off the bus until 4:43pm and that is when the sun is setting after Fall Back.  It sucks. [/quote]

I'm assuming you live in Fairfax County and I'll tell you that your kids starting school at 9:20 have nothing to do with the high schools starting later, and everything to do with how HUGE the county is and the limited number of busses.  The elementary schools start anywhere between 8:00 and 9:20, and it's because of busses.  The middle school bus for our neighborhood comes at 7:40.  No idea when the high school bus comes.

Or feel free to move out to Loudon where the elementary bus comes at 6:45am.  My 3 year old is still asleep at 6:45.[/quote]
