[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ And, to further complicate matters, our choices within dc all seem to revolve around our child having LESS independence than they would in a nearby walkable suburb. In moco, they'd take the school bus by themselves. If we lived in silver spring, they'd be one of hundreds of kids I see walking alone--and not an outlier, trekking a mile through deserted residential streets. This city is not friendly to its children. The metro is burning, crime is up, [b]and there's not even crossing guards,[/b] let alone police, monitoring anything. Its depressing--at ten, I was taking myself across my city to magnet school and now, at ten, my child can't even walk four blocks.

See you in silver spring .[/quote]

When I drive my kids to school in the morning, I drive by LAMB, Brightwood EC, and Truesdell EC (the latter two hardly privileged schools). There are crossing guards around each of these schools.[/quote]

+1.  We have a crossing guard at our very not privileged school and he's a very nice fellow.[/quote]
