[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, OP, remember-- you asked about a high school student.  Who can fend for themselves after school, potentially take public transportation home or Lyft and be alone at home as needed.  And a high school student is capable of earning a little bit of money too, in the summer at least.  If you had asked about a Kindergartener that would be different.

Could it be that you don't understand the imputed income calculation?  The schools are going to decide that you could earn $X per year, and then treat you like you have a family income of $80,000+X rather than just $80,000.  That doesn't mean they're going to take your entire paycheck, but they're going to treat you like you're earning as much money as they think you could.  If you can persuade them that you literally can't earn any money at all, then they won't impute anything.  But that's an uphill climb.[/quote]

You realize how much lyft costs?  People making under $80K are not using it.  You are really out of touch.

OP, go ahead and apply and see what happens.  But, even if you get in, these are the kind of families your child is socializing with and is that really a good thing?[/quote]

Oh please.   I live right by Dunbar and see that kids do use it.  Lots of low income people do if it enables them to get to a job.[/quote]

Be real.  No, they don't.  If you are only earning $100-150 a day, you aren't spending $20 on transportation.  Look, its great you live in a million or more dollar house, your housekeeper cleans it, your  nanny cares for your kids and your gardner does the rest but that's not how most people like.[/quote]

It's unclear to me why you think it costs that much.  Mid-afternoon rates are much lower.[/quote]
