“Kids are so fat these days. No one plays outside. Kids can’t do anything and rely on their parents too much.”

Our children are a reflection of us. If we build a society that is hostile to them, they’ll grow up thinking they can’t do anything or go anywhere on their own.

Does the 87% include school buses or were people who took the school bus a bigger outlier than I thought?

Mine takes the bus but it’s because I’m sending her to a further away school to learn French. I have seen the drop-off car line a couple times though and it looks like pure torture. I’d rather do the hour-long walk to her school if she missed the bus than ever drive her there.

It changed so quickly in the last twenty years somehow. What went wrong?
