[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My elementary school doesn't allow any kids of any age walk home by themselves. 5th graders still need parents to pick them up. I find this wild since we're a very local school in a safe area. No big streets to cross and we have a crossing guard. I telework, but I can't guarantee that I can always make school pickup times so I have to send my kids to aftercare. I wish they could just walk home. It's sort of a snowball effect. Kids aren't trusted with anything and they can't ever be independent, even if you want them to be as a parent. [/quote] Wow that is wild. Public school? Our schools allow kids to just leave campus, just like in the old days. [/quote]
