[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waples Mill is a large school, so I can see why they wouldn't want to have a LLIV option unless there was a boundary redistricting. Mosby Woods is pretty far to travel for a center. My goodness.  The Stenwood Parents were complaining that Lemon Road was too far and it's only 2 1/2 miles away.[/quote]

Is there any official limit for time that elementary-age children should spend on a bus? I could see high school kids being able to tolerate a longer bus ride (to Oakton High School) than younger kids (to Mosby Woods) for Waples Mill base. Which seems more important, shorter bus rides or staying in cluster? Just to look at all possible views. perhaps shorter bus ride is indeed more important (more time for homework and extracurriculars), and kids can just enjoy meeting new friends as they progress through the FCPS system. At least they would stay with a smaller core group of AAP friends that are from their own base school. And social media should make it easier to keep up with friends that are no longer in the same school, as compared to before the advent of FB, etc. [/quote]
