Still I remember being so envious of the dog. I was forced to walk a mile through the snow/rain at 7 am and the dog just got to curl up next to the radiator. It's amazing that I was able to get up so early for so long.
- edw519 18y agoI was forced to walk a mile through the snow/rain at 7 am So was I. We're showing our age. Does anyone do that anymore?
- Zev 18y agoDoes a quarter or half a mile to class at college count? If not, doubtful
- eru 18y agoSchool used to start at 7 am for me. And I had to drive around 5 km by bike.
- pmjordan 18y agoI think it depends where you are. In a lot of places, parents seem to be so worried about the safety of their kids nowadays that they take them to school & pick them up until their mid-teens. Having grown up in a small town in central Europe, I certainly walked (later cycled) to and from school (~2km), as did most colleagues that lived close enough. (the rest got the bus or train; many kids were picked up on Saturdays though) I haven't been around that school at 8am since I finished 6 years ago, so it's possible the situation has changed.
- SwellJoe 18y agothank god for recess! Some states no longer have recess.
- sown 18y agoI miss recess. :( And it is true, it seems to have dissapeared. I haven't gone next to an elementary school in a while but the last time I went to my old school, I didn't see any slides, swings, jungle gyms, etc. :`(
