Gabe and Allie started 7th grade at an actual school. We told the charter school to sit and spin. Gabe is now certified by the Federal Government as a spectrum kid so we're building an account for him towards college-ey stuff or whatever he needs to survive being on the spectrum in a normal world. The new middle school is rated 9th in the state and it's pretty ginchy so far.
Charter school was bilking everyone based on test scores and massive homework queues. No special Ed.
12 year old twins are funnnnn!

My kid's school is about 5 minutes away by car but it would take us about an hour (maybe longer with little kids) to walk there on a very busy road with no sidewalks. That being said, my kids take the bus.

Your area is horrid for walking. When I was dating that girl up there cars went by her house at like 60 w/ no walk.

Almost 5 rural miles no sidewalks. Nice city but we are 10 miles from Charlotte Dirty West Side hell. Don't want my kids to get hit by a windowless van, or end up dragged into one.

Tell me with a straight face that you wouldn't pity the kidnapper that ended up with your cuntmuppets.

Actually, my area is GREAT for walking most of the time. It is one of the biggest reasons we live here. We've got miles of paths all over this city. https://d2814gcejiq38s.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/CA_Pathways_2013FINAL2pdf.pdf

It's just that there's a big river in between my house and the elementary school and they are not willing to build a bridge over it in the environmental area, so you have to go by a road bridge, and that road doesn't have a sidewalk. Still, I can't see walking three miles in 10 minutes even though driving there takes just a few minutes. I don't see the math that goes into a 4-minute drive taking 8 minutes to walk.

That’s cause it doesn’t. In 4 min I can be 1-3 miles down the road. Even walking 1 mile, especially with kids, is gonna take 15-20 min.

That’s the fastest you are walking so I think we can all agree that no one is going the same distance in 8 min of walking that you are driving in 4 min and you can all keep driving your kids to school.

I don't agree. If you're able to get to the school, through the school traffic, and get the dropoff done in 5 minutes, then the school can't be more than about 1/4 mile away.

Schools (especially primary/elementary) are often located in residential areas, so the traffic to get in and out are not trivial.

You guys and your car brains are weird. All this contortion to get around saying "I can't figure out how to walk farther than 5 yards without a motor and an engine, waaah waah waah". My kids both ride their bikes around 2 miles from the house, across major streets to get to 8th and 10th grade, they've never once been dropped off unless it was after a doctors/dentists appointment, and haven't been run over even one time. They walked the 1/4 mile to the elementary school before that.

I used to ride my bike everywhere (as an adult) and got hit 4? times in rural NY. Was like 15 miles but still.

I do get the thrust of the argument though. Helicopter parents are weird. At least the owner of one of the places has got his wife out. She panicked if she saw gluten.
