>As a Canadian this is like a story from some 3rd world country. I remember frequently walking to school that distance as a kid. It wasn't abnormal nor dangerous. I'm American, and grew up there several decades ago. I also walked/biked that distance to school as a kid. Things in America are completely different from those times. That's one of the big reasons I left.
