I walked exactly one mile to my bus in whatever wheather and in Washington that meant rain most days.Pay attention! I was not whining about how "hard" my life was. While I did have to walk to school until we moved to the country and school was almost 20 miles from home, I never thought of "whining" about that. I'm highlighting how stupid and useless (aka: waste of money) it was to bus my daughter 1/4 mile simply because she would have had to cross two streets to get to school.Why should they not walk a mile? I know we did most of the time I was attending school. I made my daughter walk the WHOLE 1/4 mile to her grade school rather than waiting in single-digit temps for the f**king bus to pick her up. Oh, wait, she would have had to cross two streets. Oh, the horror! The unimaginable danger! Forcing a child to submit to such hazards! It's almost unimaginable that she's 35 yrs old this year, having had to walk a quarter mile to school.They can't walk a mile?Public schools in NY are zoned schools.
That means your kids go to the school closest to your house. Right now, Samantha Bee and Jason Jones' kid (or kids) go to school a few blocks from their home. They can walk to school, just like most New Yorkers.
With the rezoning, their kids school will be a mile or so away.
I'm sure they can - buy why should they have to?
Their kids are 10, 8, and 6.
Stop whining about how hard your life was. You're not impressing anyone.
Because you feel like it is not a reason why they should have to anything.
My life was not hard, it was expected. Oh, yeah, we used to carry .22 rifles and shotguns to school just so we could jump off the bus a couple of stops early to WALK back home and bag a couple of birds or squirrels.
No one is bitching despite him about what you may or may not have done to get your education.
He simply refuses to admit that those sissy ass lily white liberal snowflakes are to lazy to walk.
His better and winning argument would have been to admit his liberal run city is far to nasty and deadly to walk a quarter mile. Because that is the real problem. A quarter mile move in a liberal run city can make the difference between life and death.
And those are facts!
