We gain a major educational advantage by being able to walk or cycle to
the school with our kids. We can observe the changes of the seasons, we
meet and interact with people - both those we want to meet and those we
want to avoid (there is a whole education in doing that!). They are
gaining independence as we leave them to walk in from the opposite side
of the last main road and who knows in a year or two we may let them
walk in with some older children who live nearby.
