So by your thinking 5-6 year olds should be allowed to do this too? Or only kids 4th grade and up? What about a 4th grader with a sibling in kindergarten? How would these kinds of exceptions go over with parents? That's why there is a blanket rule. [/quote]

According to MCPS, kindergartners are walkers. So yes, why not a kindergartner?

[b]And kindergartners did used to walk to school by themselves, and play on the playground before school started, in the days before people's main consideration apparently became "Could somebody sue me about this?"[/b] [/quote]

But that's the world we live in today. It sucks, but MCPS can't just ignore we live in an extremely litigious society in order to placate parents who don't want to have to pay for before care. [/quote]

Yes, that's the world we live in. MCPS has to consider the possibility of getting sued. But I feel pretty ok about disregarding rules that MCPS only has because they might get sued.[/quote]

Well, it may also be that they're interested in the safety of children, but who cares about that aspect, right?[/quote]
