Reply to comment by Dr_Adequate in What am amazing state we live in, where you get views like this on a random suburban as you drive the kids to the school! by AuntiLou

No school 'requires' a student to walk to school. Perhaps parents feel like it's a safer option to accompany their children to school.

Kids within a mile of the school here in King County by default don’t get a seat on the school bus. Might be able to get one in certain circumstances but the default is no seat. Source: am parent with kid who had no seat on bus

It’s the same in Pierce. I would have to walk with or drive my daughter next year since we live within a mile of the elementary school. They only run a bus for certain neighborhoods due to distance.

Sure. And those are, I guarantee you, the same parents complaining about how traffic is so bad at their school when they go to drop off & pick up their kids.

I hear the phone calls, I read the emails.
