[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Commuting to an elementary school is much more parent dependent than to a middle school. This will make the school less accessible to children whose parents, nannies’ can’t drop them off.[/quote]

Lots of people do it to MV, YY, TR, etc. It is the charter model. Your post is silly.[/quote]

You prove my point.

It disadvantages low income children who can commute on their own via metro to middle school now. They will be locked out. [/quote]

I get this argument.  A middle school kid could commute from their neighborhood to Basis but that same kid as an elementary school kid would be too young for that commute.  So the kid is effectively shut out from Basis for middle school because now the ES will feed into the middle school.  Our family wouldn’t choose Basis for ES because of the commute but would have chosen it for middle school (I mean on our lottery list of course).[/quote]

Hmm. There seem to be kids commuting from that boundary to OOB elementary schools right now. Maybe those kids wouldn't have to commute if BASIS opens an elementary.
