[quote=Anonymous]Yes transportation and logistics are very challenging.  I do know several single parents who are able to manage it so I hope people don't assume they should not apply because it would be too difficult to make the logistics work.  I know these are anecdotes but I know families with just one car, just one parent, or with two parents who work long hours or who travel overseas a lot or who have children in several different schools (eg home elem school, HGC, magnet MS).  It takes significant planning and sacrifice.  Most people in this situation use the student directories to set up carpools etc.  It is tough because you are reaching out to strangers and very often you have to reorganize the carpools every year as older kids finish the program and move on.   MCPS students (middle school and high school) are able to use public transport for free and this is one option.  Also although most parents are highly educated and therefore typically middle class there are all kinds of families in the program.  We are always asked for donations for field trips so that all the children can participate and I have never heard of a child not being able to go on a field trip because they could not afford the fee.[/quote]
