[quote=Anonymous]It a commuter life v. a walking life. After 4th grade, DC walks to and from school with friends. Classmate friends' homes are in walking distance. At any given time, friends can be found at the playground. For parents, walking to school with kids means getting to actually see and talk to other parents, even if only for a few minutes before rushing off to work and getting a chance to have a quick exchange with teachers before and afer school. You could have some of the same with drive and park drop off. Drive by drop offs hinder informal interactions between parents-parents, and parents-school. More planning and effort is required to become a school community or to become a part of another neighborhood's community. You can do it though.[/quote]
