Done, and done. But walking to school and then walking home doesn't make for much of a life. I happen to live within easy walking distance of all schools my children would have to go to (if I had children). So does my sister, who DOES have children.

Kids need a life outside of school and outside of home, also.

I personally drove myself to school starting at age 15. (so did the vast majority of my clbuttmates the same age) But if I spent all my time at either school OR home, I wouldn't have had much of a life.

I still drove to school, as I usually did not have time after school to walk home to grab the car to drive wherever I had to be after school. Before someone suggests I was lazy, nothing is further from the truth. I spent many hours every week excercising (at least 20, on a slow week).
