[quote=Anonymous][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]

My child who is considerably closer to Takoma than Whitman catches the bus at 6:45 too.  A friend's child, also closer to Takoma than Whitman and us catches the bus at 6:27! These are both Silver Spring locations. While school may start at 8:15 most buses arrive by 7:50. There is no conspiracy against Whitman cluster kids. There is no bus switching in the morning, you stay on the same bus which makes stops at Blair, Eastern, and finally at Takoma.[/quote]

There may be no bus switching on your route but they certain switch buses on ours.[/quote]

The bus switching is on the ride home.[/quote]
