Hi funnygirl I find it so sad now that children have to be taken to and collected from school, how things have changed since I went, we lived right in the centre of London, Primary school was about a mile away and we always went to and from school on our own, then when we went to secondary school it was a 3 mile walk each way, never had a problem, now so many oddballs about the kiddies will never know what freedom is, they should be able to do the journey alone, but the way it is now, all I can say is, I am so glad my sons are now men.
