[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]people here are so foul. i am not in favor of option schools but if there are unsafe bus stops it shouldn’t matter where kids go. APS has so many issues at this point let’s just add this to the list. please stop making jabs at families who entered a lottery and got in and put that time and energy to writing APS about stopping lottery schools. or any of the other issues we all have with APS.

What OP is describing isn't an unsafe bus stop.  It is at an elementary school that many other children, OP's neighbors in fact, walk to every day.  But that's not good enough for OP.  OP wants to go to an option school that, by definition, needs to serve the whole county geography, and thinks they also deserve door to door bus service.  Enough already.    [/quote]

OP is not complaining that the stop is unsafe. It's the route the kids have to walk to to get to the stop that is  unsafe. If APS considers major roads in determining walk zones for neighborhood schools, they should be giving the same consideration to hub stops.[/quote]

Ehhh...it seems that OP did directly say that the hub is unsafe, she asked why Glebe admin, parents, teachers weren't worried about Glebe parents mingling with option children or whatever it is she's worried about? What I don't understand is that OP's kids would have otherwise attended Glebe and would have had to cross Glebe Rd and most 5th graders are crossing alone to/from school. It seems to me she's just anti her own neighborhood, which tracks with an option school for many. I hope my kid gives her cooties. [/quote]

Can you read? OP said that APS is providing a crossing guard for glebe students need one but not when the option school students need one. [/quote]

OP is ignorant. They don’t provide a crossing guard.

Since that is the DRIVEWAY for the school, it’s just a teacher standing at the front of the school, they always do that at every school we’ve ever attended.

When her kids are walking, it’s not Glebe start time so no teacher. [/quote]
Glebe parent here.  Yes, there is always a crossing guard for Glebe Rd for Glebe students starting around 8:30 AM.  It's not a teacher.  [/quote]

How do you know? They all wear orange vests. Do you know ALL the teachers at Glebe?  It’s not a crossing guard. It’s the entrance teacher. [/quote]
