Vesper''s thread on ATW had me thinking...
When you were a kid, at what age did you walk to school alone? We walked to school alone in Kindergarten (I was 4 years old for the first few months of Kinder). I know my parents weren''t crazy because I distinctly remember one day going the long way to school and a boy calling my name. He ran to catch up with me to walk to school. Many, many kindergartners walked to school themselves.
Now I think all those parents (including my own) were on drugs! A four year old walking alone to school? Yet we all did it and we all got there on time.
At what age do kids walk to school alone now? Vesper''s thread said the girl was 7. I know for SURE by 7, when I was a kid, EVERYONE walked home from school alone!
