If there’s school busing where kids don’t live close enough to walk or bike, how does that affect parents? Parents can go to work before the kids once they’re in middle or high school.
Over 11 = old enough to walk or walk to the bus stop like kids have done for the last 100 or so years, without being driven to work by a nanny-stater helichopper parent. In fact, forcing kids to walk or take the bus instead of being helicoptered to school by a paranoid helicopter parent is a good thing:
(1) more exercise for Biffy and Buffy. Get the heart rate up before school, reduce youth obesity.
(2) less traffic and less pollution from unneeded driving
(3) kids develop some level of independence and self-awareness
