yeah, walking with them would be too much exercise. And they wonder why their kids aren't active when they ferry them everywhere in the car. I walked or biked to school when I was a kid. The problem in our neighbourhood is that the wonderful city/province didn't bother giving us a school so unless he's a distance runner at age 5 or 6, he'll be bussing to school.
