[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 489685, member: 3493"] Our HS starts at 8:05 and the middle school at 8:07. They are on the same campus so the traffic is horriifc especially as many parents drive their kids because it's on the way to the railroad station parking lot. When we bought 15 years ago, I insisted that we live within walking distance of that campus and it was the right choice. My kids can walk although I admit to driving my D for 3 years because she had to be there at 7:30 for choir. When we bought, my kids were in elementary school and I drove to work the opposite way. Now I go to the railroad but H drives me because you can't get a spot after 7:15 and it costs a lot to park. Sometimes, we drop easy child or youngest boy off. difficult child has walked almost every day since D graduated. If easy child is ready they walk together, otherwise not. difficult child will not wait for easy child - he is usually out by 7:15 for a 5 block walk even when he has first period off. As for the group projects, I hate them because I was always the kid who did all the work. difficult child has done them over the years and he participates because he doesn't like to look bad. I think they should be outlawed except in those classes where collaborative learning is career training (e.g, engineering type classes because engineers work together in teams). Our elementary schools all used to start at 8:30. This year, to reduce bus costs, the SD changed to a staggered start between 8:20 and 8:45. [/QUOTE]
