Sure, we'll do it the first couple of years, but eventually we'd love them to walk to Hearst by themselves.


Absolutely. Our kids walk to school (Stoddert) since grade 3. The idea of removing neighborhood schools is just nonsense and must be fought. Many families in Glover Park do not even own a car now that zip cars and similar are available at any corners.
