It was a very different world. I was in kindergarten and (heaven forbid) walked to school! Just under a mile. No matter what the weather...lol. No TV. And not a care in the world! :)

I didn't start school until 1954 and didn't have to walk, it was too far away. But did have to stand outside on the road waiting for the school bus no matter what the weather. That was when I was in upstate NY.

When we were in California, it was the same drill but I was older then and chose to hike to school and catch up with Townie friends. It was only two miles.

Wasn't always that way, just in few spots. We were Navy Brats and lived in many locations, moving every six months or so.

I used to walk to school when I first started, too. I had 2 older sisters and we'd walk close to a mile to school. And we spent more time outside than in!
