Seriously - I'd love to have my kids walk but we are 22 miles away (in a rural area).

I grew up in a suburban area so I am out of touch with the rural experience.

Because the article is comparing the past with the present, I am curious what parents were doing in the 90s in your area? And, what are parents doing nowadays?

I'm assuming, either car or bus. And I can't imagine that would have changed since the 90s unless there used to be a school much closer.

When I grew up in a rural area I walked 1/3 mile to meet the school bus. Is that not still the typical experience?
