[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is this hour bus ride coming from? It would take an hour to walk the three miles.[/quote]

North Capitol during rush hour is among the worst traffic in the city. It legitimately took CHML ECEers 45 minutes+ every morning and CHML is on G St NE already! The afternoon commute isn’t as bad because it’s not also rush hour. [/quote]

Could this not be solved by having the busses leave Brent earlier? Or would the early start be too much for the little snowflakes?[/quote]

you're a jerk (but you know that already) but for others who are trying to understand the issue, it's worth addressing but there are two problems with this.

The biggest, and most expensive, is expanded hours for aftercare.  Starting an hour earlier doesn't mean parents are off work an hour earlier, and all of the sudden they've got to pay for 30% more aftercare.  Of course, DCPS nor Brent admin have addressed this yet.

Second, a 4 year old should not have to get up at 6am or whatever hour just because DCPS can't find the will to solve this problem more effectively.  It's punative on some level, which is why people are upset.
