On the article POLL: Should School Hours Be Changed to Start Later?

ReplyI think school should start later but not too late. My son currently starts at 8:40 and ends at 3:30. I do not like the 3:30 time because they do not have much homework time before a sport or other activity. If They started at 8:10 and dismissed at 3:00 it would be perfect!

On the article Let Your Voice Be Heard On Proposed Metro Fare Hikes

ReplyMy son takes the metro to and from school every day. (Bethesda Station to Union Station). It costs us approximately $120 per month just for transportation to school. The kids that commute via metro that live in DC get a discount whereas the kids in Maryland or Virginia pay full fair. Now full fair is getting higher? That is just insane. A few weeks ago a train broke down on the redline and my son NEVER MADE IT TO SCHOOL because of meto's lack of maintenance. The other lage cities in America charge much less and have many more stops to get on and off so it makes it much better to use public transportation. Whoever designed the system was not thinking straight. I used to live in Boston and even though the system was old it worked and was very inexpensive. There were so many stops that you never had to worry about using a car. HELLO METRO ARE YOU LISTENING????
