[Misc] The School Run

[Hamilton]

Waiting for the bus in Hurst and 70% of the cars going past are full of little darlings being given a lift to school.

Roads jammed.

WTF!

Make them bloody walk!

It’s a sunny day for Christ’s sake. I’d make them walk regardless. Its character building.

Bloody pampered little miracles.

Some of those kids in the cars are 8 years old. They should be out working.

I’ve got a chimney needs cleaning!

Don’t know they are f***ing born!

National Service? For school kids?

I’m only talking about walking to f***ing school.

I would suggest that the issue is pampered parents or parents in a rush rather than the kids. Two types
1) a parent who is too lazy to walk so drives. They pretend it is the kid who is lazy
2) a parent who has an onward journey to work so driving means they get to work earlier (when most of us were small it was far more unusual for both parents to work but now they have to to have a chance of affording to live.)

In a rush? Just start the walk to school earlier.

We always walk our youngest to school, but we are lucky, we are only 5 mins away. I'd say 75-80% of the children at my youngest's primary school are driven there but a lot come from other places outside the village.

When I lived in Worthing I was gobsmacked by how many kids get driven less than a mile.

Both my parents worked.

I walked to school.

If I had even asked for a lift I’d have got a sharp look.

When my kids were young enough to need to be taken I would always walk them because I like walking and don't enjoy driving. Mrs GB would drive because she likes driving and would want to get to work asap afterwards. So I think you're spot on although I wouldn't dare call her lazy!!

It's worse when it rains. Apparently coats and umbrellas are a thing of the past.

So would I.

Especially as we didn’t have a car.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Round my way the schools cannot cope with the number of new houses being built, so kids are having to attend schools well outside their normal catchment areas. Maybe this is part of the problem.

Walk to school?!?! Luxury!

My father used to bind my legs together and then I had to writhe my way to school.

For 5 miles.

Uphill.

Anyone know a bar in Hurstpierpoint showing the game on Monday?

Also, where's Smokey Robinson when you need him?

He had good control of his miracles.
