[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, but there are tons of middle school kids (including my own) walking over a mile to school in Arlington and they are just fine. We are 1.2 miles away, up and over a fairly big hill. I tell her that she will be able to tell her kids that she walked to school uphill both ways. I only drive my kid to school if they need to take something heavy with them, which is RARE. Does she complain sometimes? Sure, but that's what middle schoolers do. If kids have enough energy to run around soccer fields for hours at a time, they have enough energy to walk a mile to school. You mention safety - are there sidewalks? Have you taught your kid how to cross a a street, use crosswalks, look out for traffic, walk as far from the edge of the road as possible?[/quote]
