[quote=Anonymous]Can't believe you choose to live in the city and will not entrust your kids to a city bus. This is one of the benefits of living in the city. An 11-12 year old is old enough to use the bus. I see plenty of middle schoolers/high schoolers on bus and Metro in the mornings. You are doing your kids a disservice by driving them everywhere. Kids need to learn to navigate the world themselves, whether they live in the suburbs or the city. This is one of the reasons so many kids arrive in colleges today unable to do things for themselves - because their parents did too much for them. They never had jobs in high school, etc. We have to give them a bit of independence and enable them to grow and learn valuable life skills. City busses are a safe and reliable (and FREE) way to get to school, especially if your kid has a phone with the WMATA Next Bus APP, etc. [/quote]
