When you were at school they were sending little kids up chimneys. It's a different time/era now. The world has got a whole lot busier, there are more vehicles on the road and instead of dodging horses like you had to, it's a constant stream of traffic kids have to vie with

I walked/cycled to school most days unless one of the old mans lorries were passing by, I thought it was normal to walk.
On lad used to come by car, he was ill. poor devil, he died just after we left school..

Not many teachers had a car, pushbike were the norm

More or less everyone walked or cycled in the past.
You're comparing different eras to make today's kids look soft and you the big hero.
Get over yourself it was a journey to school not an expedition to the Arctic circle.

When I wasn't in boarding school, I went to a school across town - too far to walk. Favourite teacher rode a Harley to school - they were rare in Britain then.

I used to walk to school mostly.

We are becoming a nation of softies.
Blimey I agree with you for once, it comes from the parents though. People do jump into their vehicles for ridiculously short journeys now. More walking was done back in the day.

So you also think 5 6 7 year old kids should navigate their way along dangerously busy roads alone on a dark morning.
I pray you don't have children in your care.
Don't be ridiculous. Who said that? I certainly didn't.

I didn't read the whole thread late last night, just the OP.

The first post wasn't clear enough for you?
It didn't mention ages? Unless my eyes were extremely blurry last night.

Generally speaking, kids do walk to school less than they used to, people get into vehicles for ridiculously short journeys. I guess you could argue that the world is a more dangerous place now, overall though, is it really the case.
