Or we could design our cities and towns to allow kids to commute to school on their own.

That's one great idea! But also not something public school boards have any control over

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

This is a good point but afaik most school boards are directly controlled/influenced by the municipality which does have control over that.

I'll have to take your word on it. Maybe I'll bring it up next time a canvasser comes around, if I think of it. So many causes to keep track of these days... ๐Ÿ˜ž

Middle and high schoolers sure, but elementary schoolers, especially kindergarten and first grade? I know plenty of parents who wouldn't let their kid walk down the street to school at that age.

Still, if there's one thing America sucks at, it's having people do healthy things. I'm very grateful I WFH, for now, and don't have to wake up until 10AM.
