[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county makes it really hard, logistically, for kids in the Whitman cluster to go the magnets. Look at the magnet route for TPMS. 6:45 pick up time from Whitman for an 8:15 start. They do not pick up for any of the elementary schools in the cluster for some nutty reason. Many students are 15-25 minutes away from Whitman. That bus takes you to Eastern where you have to switch to a "shuttle" to Takoma so three legs taking your kid at least 1 hour and 45 minutes ONE WAY. [/quote] That is really unfortunate.[/quote] +1. BCC parent with children who have gone to Sil Spring magnets. Even for us, living in the east of our cluster, the bus ride is too long and we carpool. If we lived west of Wisconsin Ave, I wouldn't even allow DC to apply to magnets; the commute time outweighs the benefit, even if my child were Einstein himself. For same reason, we won't send kids to RMIB. [/quote]
