I couldn't imagine having to stick my kid on a bus for a 30 or 45 minute bus ride each way. Sure the kids don't mind and probably find it fun but it takes it toil on the kids and parents. My kid has a two block walk to school (can't do it on his own yet) or about 6/7 blocks if we wanted to go to the standard English program.
