[quote=Anonymous]This might be specific to where you live. In DC, tons of kids, starting in middle school, ride public buses and Metro to school, often making a transfer or walking a mile or so. Think kids on Capitol Hill commuting to upper NW. They navigate around to get to their after school activities on their own. My kids walk a mile or more to visit friends or go to a specific store, or they might ride bikes or take a bus. They have so much more freedom than I did as a middle schooler growing up in suburbia. We drive so little that it's going to be a challenge to get hours behind the wheel to get a license.[/quote]
