[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ooy. I'd opt out. That's absurd. 53$ could take my kid and I to a nice meal and the Smithsonian on that same day...using metro. [/quote] Well - I just took a group of students on several field trips last week from Shady Grove Metro to Smithsonian one day and L'Enfant Plaza the other day. $6.75 each way plus my parking cost (so $20 for me and $13.50 per student), so it's not exactly a steal on Metro either.[/quote] Not all of us live as far out as you. So yea when you live miles from a destination it costs more. Lol My trip would cost about a third of that... because we don't live miles away. Your trip on a bus would cost more. And herein lies the entire big issue with Mcps, it is too big...county should seriously consider breaking up. See Massachusetts for ex of town run schools and best outcomes. Don't @ me with ohh but the poor towns. Ok so don't live in a poor town and don't be poor. [/quote]
