[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in third grade. Parents are enraged about the two hour delay. These kids are 8-9 years old. Some of these people live 1-2 blocks away from school. There is no reason why a 9 year old can’t walk a block to school alone and parent can go to work. Not talking about parents of younger kids. At what age would you let your kid go to the bus stop or walk to school by themselves? I remember walking home from school alone in kindergarten. I lived a block away. This was in the eighties.[/quote] I remember thinking I missed my bus as a kid and having to walk to school by myself. I was in elementary. I got lost. Then I had to take the way the bus goes which was a longer route down a one way divided street. People were offering me rides. Finally the bus came, it must’ve been a two hour delay or something and I got on the bus the rest of the way. [/quote]
