[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. This thread has gotten out of hand. It is impossible for some parents to get off work to drive their kid to and from activities. I don't know why that PP is arguing so hard about this.

The "we make it work" perspective comes from a lot of privilege, usually with two UMC/MC parents with salaried jobs that have some flexibility although they may be demanding. I don't doubt it may require sacrifices for them to be able to drive their kid but it is not the same as someone who has rigid hours or an hourly job.

Then kid goes to home school.  We choose that as transportation is an issue.  Lots of ways to make it work.  Privilege is wanting a different school but putting no effort into it.  [/quote]

No, you privileged ignoramus. The point of having activity busses provided to all students even

outside the home school zone is part of equity and access. Access to activities is important. It affects college acceptance etc.[/quote]

Your privilege is ignoramus.  They go to their home school like ours do if that's an issue.  We don't have bus service and we are close to two miles so my children aren't walking without sidewalks across busy streets at night.  So, as parents if it's important to us we make it work.  OP will have to make it work.  If she picks a further out school what happens for evening activities?  These three schools aren't going to impact college acceptances.  They are all about equal.[/quote]

Idiot. Being able to participate in activities affects colleges.

I’m done wasting my time with you. You clearly don’t give a damn about equity, which includes access to extra currics.[/quote]

There is no such thing as equity and you clearly don’t get high school activities don’t always end when the bus comes or start directly after school.  [/quote]
