[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 864764, member: 60724"] Shaun, Many will blame the school board probably assuming that if the child were not "forced" to walk home from school then this probably wouldn't have happened. Unfortunately, public schools don't bus everyone. Anyone that is within a reasonable distance of the school, and able to walk to school along a safe route (sidewalks, etc), will not be bussed. That's the way it is in our school district, and I assume the same in most. The distances vary from district to district, but up to a couple of miles is not out of the question. (Remember the old "I used to walk 5 miles to school, up hill, both ways" crack?) Most kids don't walk to school these days, even if not bussed. Heck, many kids these days refuse to ride the bus, even. Lots of kids that otherwise could ride the bus get dropped off and picked up by the helicopter parents, who often talk about the "evils" of the bus. This stinks, but it's not the school board's fault. TJR [/QUOTE]
