Currently we live within walking distance of an elementary school so if we are still here when LO starts it will be awesome! I see the pickup/ drop off line of cars sometimes and oy, it looks bad! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-always-live-walking-distance-from-school#post-2154720 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:48:26 +0000 FannyMae 2154720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pre school and primary school were both a good 30 minute walk away, which was tough as a 4 year old as my mum wasn't driving at the time so we had to walk it every day.</p> <p>My high school was a half hour train ride away, but luckily the station was right next to the school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-always-live-walking-distance-from-school#post-2154694 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:24:02 +0000 Ree723 2154694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were just under a mile away from our elementary school so we walked a lot when the weather was nice, or it was a five minute drive if we got a ride.</p> <p>High school was about 4 miles away - we got a ride the mile or so to the bus stop and then took the CTA (public transit bus) from there, pretty much straight to my school's doorstep. From sophomore year on, we had our own car and drove to school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-always-live-walking-distance-from-school#post-2154692 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:19:22 +0000 mrskc 2154692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Walked to elementary (when old enough), junior high &amp; high school (until I got my license). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-always-live-walking-distance-from-school#post-2154687 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:16:59 +0000 CakeLady 2154687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a 10 minute walk from my first elementary school, I often got a ride because we were often running late (scarred for life by this, now I'm always early)</p> <p>I took the bus from 6-8th grade, then took public transit and finally drove to high school. Those schools were less than 10 miles away but the trip took 30min to an hour due to city traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-always-live-walking-distance-from-school#post-2154665 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:00:50 +0000 yellowbird 2154665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was walking distance always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-always-live-walking-distance-from-school#post-2154646 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:46:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2154646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah!

I lived a 5 minute and then 15 minute walk from elementary school. High school was about a 10-15 minute walk.

It was a 15 minute walk and I walked starting in Kindergarten (accompanied by the older neighbor kids or sometimes my mom/dad). I only got rides on days where I had a project and a lot of stuff to bring or the weather was nasty (rain only, I always walked when it snowed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-always-live-walking-distance-from-school#post-2154559 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:53:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2154559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never lived close enough to walk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-always-live-walking-distance-from-school#post-2154555 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:50:55 +0000 DillonLion 2154555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My schools were always fairly far away. </p> <p>Elementary school: 5 minute drive<br /> Middle School: 10 minute drive<br /> High School (9th and 10th grade): 15 minute drive<br /> Senior High School (11th and 12th grade): 30 minute drive </p>
