[quote=Anonymous]I just wonder what she's doing / if she can see the child during those 15 minutes. Now, for a 5 year old, that's different. I'm reading "Ramona the Pest" by Beverly Cleary to my 5-year-old, and there is a part where Ramona and Howie's mothers decide it is time for these two five-year-olds to walk to Kindergarten by themselves. The book seems to be set in Portland, OR - and was published in 1968. How things have changed! It was normal back then. My son asked why he can't walk to kindergarten by himself. I said his school was farther away that Ramona's and he would have to cross a busier street. This might be true or might not be true. I have no intention of letting him walk to kindergarten by himself, but it made me sad that I do not. I would like to give him that responsibility and have him be proud of it the way that Ramona and Howie were in the book. Maybe when he is in middle school... [/quote]
