[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish we had a bus — its almost 3/4 of a mile which is too far for a 2nd grader alone, and a bus would pickup much earlier; her classmates bus comes at 815![/quote]

So I guess we should have made sure we werent in walk zone of the school in retrospect — lesson for others [/quote]

I'm sorry but you are INSANE. People pay a lot of money to live walking distance from their elementary school. I loved being within walking distance to school when I was a child so much that I made sure we were able to do the same for our kids.[/quote]

+1 we're in the walk zone for our ES and there is an uplift in price from it for our neighborhood. Most people want this. But everyone on this thread just wants to glorify inflexible employers.[/quote]

We are walkers to all our schools-ES, MS and HS. I feel you OP-mine didn’t like before care either. Fortunately I have a short commute so I could swing dropping off around 8:45 when carpool started and could still get to work right after 9. It was the afternoon that was a problem for my younger one. He didn’t like aftercare but had to suck it up until he was old enough to walk home alone and only had to endure it two days a week since my husband has flexibility to work from home. Being walkers without a bus is limiting- even though my ES kid is old enough to walk to and from alone if the weather is bad or super super cold I’ll take leave to pick him up from time to time. Covid flexibilities made this so much easier but those are all gone now[/quote]
