Don't. Many feel a lot better paying for school, financially or in the form of long commutes, doesn't matter if they're getting anything better, just makes them feel better. Those who harbor doubts about it then have to go the extra mile of convincing others that it's the only way. Leave them be, it's their cross to bear.

For the wiser, Jefferson is a solid option, advanced math, extracurriculars (which are built into the regular schedule btw). No second foreign language, sure, but solid Spanish instruction and plenty of money left in your pocket and time on your agenda for something that ultimately may be more effective, such as travel, an exchange year, online learning, apps, evening classes. Same goes for sports if none of the half dozen options offered strikes your fancy. Really, it's not that difficult unless you make so.

As for the commute: Not sure a bus would help. I find the Eastern Market L'Enfant Metro connection very manageable. Our 6th grader does so alone and with friends, no problem. School chaperones monitor kids to and from Metro.[/quote]
