[quote=Anonymous]I walk my 2nd grader to school because it’s a long walk (almost a mile) with a lot of turns and none of the streets in our neighborhood go straight and there are no older kids for her to walk with. My 5th grader, who goes to a different school not within walking distance, has walked home from the 2nd grader’s school alone. As we get closer to the school there are more kids walking. I would say most of the 2nd graders walk with an adult but there are a handful that walk or bike on their own. Much more common 3-5 for them to walk on their own. Most of the 5th graders leave earlier than the younger kids to get to their patrol posts and walk themselves. Personally, I’ve seen a huge change in my older DD from 4th to 5th. Much more independent and willing to do things without an adult.[/quote]
