[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a .8 mile walk is reasonable in elementary school.[/quote] I think it is very reasonable, but without sidewalks it isn't safe.[/quote] For a 1st grader? Alone? I am the OP, and I would NEVER let my child walk from my house to school alone. Maybe in 4th or 5th, but I'm not sure even then. EVEN THE SCHOOL says I should not let my child walk alone. So is it really reasonable for me to spend 2 hours a day (1 hr round trip 2x a day) walking her to/from school. Obviously I think not.[/quote] No, of course not alone. No distance is safe alone at 6 years old. You had to know when you bought your house that getting to school would require you escorting her there in some way. The method you choose is up to you.[/quote]
