[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not that hard to figure out. Some people simply like walking, biking. [/quote]

Then take a nice walk or bike ride.  It's one single factor among many factors in deciding boundaries and school use and not every kid who could walk to school is going to be able to walk to school.[/quote]

Ok? I agree that it’s one of many factors that should be considered for boundary planning.

PP seemed confused about why some people prefer to walk their kids to school.

You might be missing the context of recent debates around this topic.  APS needs to do redo middle school boundaries and it started a massive outcry on this very topic.  People who want their children to continue to walk to school are willing to throw just about anyone under the bus (no pun intended) just so long as their kids get to keep walking.[/quote]

"Walking" is such a ridiculous red-herring. All it means is they don't want to give up that particular school, because no kid is "walkable" to their elementary AND middle AND high school. At some point, they aren't "walking."[/quote]

Huh? People near me do walk/bike to ES/MS/HS. 22201

+1 Ashton Heights, Long Branch/TJ/W-L. Not a short walk but is walkable. Because of work schedules/extended day we did generally drive in ES (,until 5th grader wanted to walk home instead of extended day), they consistently walked to and from for MS. Walked or biked in HS.[/quote]
