[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of super brights at our local school but they chose not to attend AAP.  There's always that.  Some parents still value a neighborhood school over the benefits of busing for a special curriculum in grade school. [/quote]

I can see why!  Our kids leave the local neighborhood school at 8:10 (if the bus is on time, which it hasn't been yet), and they are supposed to get back at 4:25, but so far they have come back at 5:10, 4:45 and 4:45.  We are losing faith in the bus schedule and the system that thinks it's o.k. for an 8 yr. old to get back to his/her base school more than an hour after school gets out.  Add another 10 min. on to that to walk home.  Basically, our kids riding the AAP bus have a day that starts at 8:00 and ends at 5:00 (if they aren't REALLY late).  That's too long and gives us pause in reconsidering our decision to forego the neighborhood school.  The AAP school is literally 15 min. away from the neighborhood school... yet these kids are losing 2 hrs. every day just getting to and from the AAP school.  :([/quote]

It is going to get a whole lot worse![/quote]
