[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does the social stuff work if everybody is taking long bus rides to school? How do the kids get together to socialize outside of school? It seems like a lot of kids would just be too geographically spread out. How does it work?[/quote]

Social on the bus.[/quote]

From where we live in Chevy Chase TPMS is about a 15-20 minute drive which I wouldn't classify as especially long. [/quote]
Well, aren't you special? :roll: From where we live in Rockville, it's 50 minutes and I'd call it long.[/quote]

That's not that long but you can always drive your child.  [/quote]

Some people have jobs.[/quote]

Funny thing, most of us who don't get bus service find a way to drive our kids.[/quote]

Comments like this is why I would never do this to my child.  This is not the most important thing in the world that you would change your job or job hours.  It really isn't.  PP, you are what is wrong with this program.  It is a terrible system and instead of being sympathetic that many kids that SHOULD be in the program are not because of logistic and time challenges, you make it seem like EVERYONE should drop anything like you did.  So, it really isn't the best kids in these programs.  It is the kids whose parents jump thru hoops and find a way to apply, practice testing, tutoring, and will eagerly accept and drive their kid anywhere anytime.  Oh and nice coming on her shaming other parents.  Bravo!! [/quote]
