I think times are definitely different now. I used to walk to school alone at age 6 1st grade…about 3/4 mile or so down the hill/street.
Nowadays, parents walk their 4th grader 2 blocks to school. (maybe to talk to their kid too)…
Agree with the other folks, just having an enclosed space is great to do work at home maybe with Wifi on the computer outside or inside. Can’t do that at most parks I don’t think unless you have anywhere internet.
