[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Who does not get bus service to TPMS?[/quote]

To Takoma, we only get bus service from the local elementary school which is not walkable and we have to drive.   To the other magnets, no bus service.  To our local elementary school, no bus service.  [/quote]

You do not get a bus to your local school?  Then it should be walkable.  Having to drive a few minutes to catch a magnet bus does not mean there is no bus service.  My DD closest magnet stop is 1.2 miles away.  We do drive her but I would never say there is no bus service.  When it is necessary she can walk....like a 1/2 day or if a parent is traveling.[/quote]

I know several families in this situation. There is a bus stop at their local elementary but they need to drive to that local elementary. It is definitely not walkable, maybe 4 miles away.[/quote]
