P.S. I should add that my daughter certainly had many classmates from suburban areas who needed to be driven each way. Their parents tended to go green with envy of the city kids who could get themselves home.

Yes - City Kids have more independence than their suburban counterparts for sure. My 10th grader would absolutely commit social suicide if I picked him up at school.

His 10th grade cousins in CT are driven around by Mom or Dad for everything. When they come to visit, ( UES ) they are amazed that they are free to
simply walk around without Parents hovering around them.

Funny about your daughter biking the last mile, I’ve tried to get my 10th grader to consider cycling to school ( a easy 2 miles mostly through Central Park ) but cycling is apparently something “only old people” do in NYC. LOL
