State lawmakers are mulling a law that would establish commonsense protections for families that give their children a reasonable amount of independence.
You don’t think so? Where do you think I’m at? But no, I’m sure you would know better about what the US has. From Germany. You don’t even seem to know the US has public schools almost all kids go to.
I assumed from your instance from the onset that you’re also based in Germany, or have something to do with this place. But, my argument still stands. I didn’t mention only schools, did I? And even if we limit ourselves to schools, you should know that the school concept in Germany is entirely different from the US. In Germany you HAVE to go to the primary school within a defined school boundary - whether you’re rich or poor. Privatisation of schools is almost non-existent. Walking to and from school is the norm - this is absolutely encouraged. For example, my kids school bars parents from driving anywhere within 800 metres to drop their kids off. This encourages self reliance as children walk alone or in groups to school each day.
Don’t judge a person by their instance, I suppose. Your school system is a minor difference and kids ride their bikes or walk to school all the time. It just went from extremely common to much less common. And like I said, literally everything else you mentioned is here in the US as well. I’m also willing to bet as just an assumption that 20 years ago in Germany there were even more kids that walked to school than their are today.
