Mommy, thanks. You said what I was going to. Whether the Mom lets the kid walk anywhere is not the point. The point is that the kid's routine, what the parent expected, was changed with no notice.

In a perfect world, she would have been told her child was expected to walk, and then she could have made her mind up about the options.

We conservatives gripe about the nanny state, and that seems to apply here. The school decided what was best for the child and it acted, without regard to the parents.

Exactly.

Let me -- the parent -- make the decision. You just stick to teaching. When you get that part right, then, maybe...just maybe, I might think about letting you compare notes with me.
