[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because schools are big. ES have 500+ kids instead of small ones. And it only gets bigger from there. [/quote]

Everything is on a massive scale.[/quote]

Yes. And even if you do find something walkable it's very rare to be walkable to ES and MS and HS.[/quote]

My kids had a bus to ES but are walkable to MS and HS and I really appreciate that. [b]ES kids still need parents to take them to/from school so the walkability is of limited value IMO.[/b] But the independence for teens in getting to/from school has been great. [/quote]

??? My children walked/biked/scooted/took the bus to their ES school starting in 1st grade.  Can't imagine taking them to school through ES if it was walkable...[/quote]

My kids took the bus but I didn't know a single child who walked to ES without a parent before 4th or 5th grade. I agree that kids should be able to get to school on their own but, at least in our area, it is not at all socially acceptable to allow a k-3rd grader to walk to school unattended.[/quote]

You must live in a weird neighborhood, everyone walks here in 22043.  I mean, what are they going to do to you if you let your kids walk like god intended, tar and feather you?[/quote]
