[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had school choice in NYC too. More, even, because all middle schools and high schools are choice or application. We also had a functioning bus system. That functioned, and allowed working parents to work and not drive across town with their children every day, because who, besides people who don't know any better, thinks that is a sane and viable option?

Here in dc? Unbelievably, I've heard excuses like, "it would add to traffic, having school busses."

It's a different world here, op. Some parts of it are good, like more space, better public pools, free museums, cheap activities, etc. We rent a house here for the price of our Brooklyn apartment. Our kids know what trees are now.

But some things are not as good. And the lack of bussing, indeed, the lack of transit options near most of the charter schools in NE is one of the not good things.

Garisson is a very small school. Maybe small enough to not be so bad? Definitely check it out. [/quote]

Thanks so much for this response. It's nice to hear from someone who's done it. I am planning to visit Garrison and Marie Reed among the OOB publics and charters. Maybe something local will feel right. [/quote]
