Dear Justanidiot,
Again, you show wisdom. When I was in first grade through eighth, I walked from my home at 44 Observatory Ave. in North Providence to St. Augustine's Grammer School at 635 Mt. Pleasant Ave. in Providence R.I. and obviously, I did it twice a day. The round trip was 1.4 miles (.7 miles each way). I believe that it increased my endurance and character. Todays' children are growing up with a sense of entitlement that a little walking-to-school would lessen, in my opinion. For those that are honestly unable, we should provide bus service but I agree, there are many who could walk and it would probably benefit the child if he/she did.
Happy St. Patrick old friend.
Happy St. Patrick everyone.
