[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The part of Silver Spring, near Chevy Chase was very different.[/quote]

Thank you for answering, PP.

I wasn’t asking because it’s “Silver Spring”, or because of diversity, or because of the demographics (I’m from Brooklyn for Gods sake!).  The reason I asked was purely due to DISTANCE.

I know that most kids down in this area usually live within a mile or so from their home elementary schools.
We live almost 4 miles from Rosemary Hills and 1/4 of a mile from NCC.

I didn’t understand why the majority of kids in this area live within a mile or even two tops from their home elementary school, but my kids were on the bus for a half an hour on the low side and sometimes 45 minutes to an hour on the long side.

I never asked because its what our home was zoned for — I never asked because it is what it is.
I had to take a subway to get to my school, so I didn’t really question a long school bus ride or why things were set up this way... that is until I learned how much closer the majority of other kids in this area live to their home elementary.

Also, we weren’t going to send my kids to private over a long bus ride, so I just accepted it for what it was.  
I couldn’t change it, so why make a huge issue about it?

Apparently because I didn’t find out the entire history on my child’s elementary school, I am now not to be believed...

Thanks for jumping down my throat though, your patience and understanding is appreciated.[/quote]
