Yeah, we are about a mile from my kids’ elementary school, so I drive about halfway to the school and walk the rest with them, because I just have zero interest in being stuck in the chaos that is that last quarter mile. Plus, I feel good having them walk a bit to get to school, I like to think it’ll get them both used to being on foot more. My older one walks one day a week in a group about a mile to school. The younger one is four, and I have zero expectation that he’d do the entire walk, and even less expectation that we’d get there on time.
Besides a bike bus, if it’s just one or 2 kids a well done cargo bike will get them there easily. A mile bike ride is doable even with horrifyingly bad roads.

Have you thought about a bike bus? A Mile bike ride is very doable if the roads aren’t terrible.
