Now i have to speak. When i was at secondary school i walked about 2 miles to school every morning, then home for lunch, back to school and then home at the end of school day, 5 days a week, all school terms, nothing missed (including sun, rain, snow, fog (smog) etc. So why is this "car to school" necessary???

My brother & I walked near 3 miles to primary school, if lucky we got a lift part way in the posties van. One winter we got there through the snow drifts & some kids whose house we could see from school did not.
