[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buses sitting in traffic are a huge pollution issue. That is an issue too.  Not just distance.[/quote]

I agree. Let's make it safe for kids to walk to school, so that MCPS doesn't have to bus kids who live in walking distance of their schools.[/quote]
I'm quite glad that my 14 yr old doesn't have to walk to the HS that is closer to us and instead takes a bus (not to a W school).  It's pretty dark outside still at 7:10am when DC leaves the house. And when the snow starts, even worse.  The walkpath they would use isn't shoveled in a timely manner.[/quote]

HE IS 14!!!!!  :lol:    Good Lord. :roll:   Time to cut the umbilical cord lady.  What a bunch of helicopters raising this new generation. Walking to school is healthy and reduces stress and [b]absolutely every kid that can walk SHOULD walk.  [/b]Even in snow.  That is what snow boots are for.  We are destroying this planet with minivans idled at bus stops, carpool lanes full of kids who aren't walking a few blocks, and buses are half empty because parents take their snowflakes themselves.

Here is a requirement for starting [b]1st grade[/b] in 1979:

8. Can he/she travel alone in the neighborhood (four to eight blocks) to store, school, playground, or to a friend's home?

I think it's time your 14yr old can walk in the dark in some snow.  [/quote]

Absolutely every kid that can walk ON A SAFE ROUTE should walk.

There are a lot of roads in the county that it's not safe to walk on. And some of them are school walking routes.[/quote]
