[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 5th & 3rd and they have gone back & forth to the bus stop without an adult since they were in 3rd & 1st.  Next year I will also have a 1st grader on the bus & he will go with his siblings.  I do go down to the bus stop sometimes, but not because they need me there.  Sometimes I just feel like going & waiting for the bus.

Our bus stop is a few houses away and I cannot see it from my house.  I think it's easier letting them go without you when they are with a sibling.  My oldest did not go to the bus stop alone as a 2nd grader, though in hindsight, she definitely could have.

I walked to school all alone as a kindergartener, part of it was along a busy road, and I remember being really scared walking all by myself.  It was a 10-minute walk and I had to pass by a house with a big dog that always barked & I was terrified he was going to chase me.  I can't believe my mother didn't drive me, but she just sent me out the door every morning.  I would never send one of my kids out alone every morning like that to walk all the way to school.
