You forgot to mention that it was all uphill...

Both directions...

I guess my more general question is, how has this happened? I either rode a school 
bus, walked or biked to school (okay, I went by X-C ski once). Anyone who was too far 
to walk could ride a school bus. And this was less than 25 years ago. Elementary 
schools were never more then six or eight blocks away. Junior High schools were never 
more than a mile away. So it was never really an issue until high school.

Has that much changed? Are students further from their schools geographically now? Are 
school busses no longer funded? I've been out of touch with what's going on wrt public 
education I honestly don't know.
