There’s a town near me where the school is technically on a state highway. Any student who walks to school gets instantly suspended for the day for walking on a highway. In the last few years they started building a nice big sidewalk connecting to the actual town streets so that kids can legally walk to school, but it is pretty bonkers that that school is so far from where kids should be walking or biking
I wonder if children walking home from school are now a problem? That was like my main source of exercise.

It’s not. My 10 year old did it for some of last year. His teachers and principal supported it.
My theory is that it’s paranoia born out of how the media handles crime, and how isolating suburbia is.
