What grade were you? I was 6th grade :(
This topic is locked from further discussion.
pretty young like grade 3 maybe, if i remember correctly. my bus stop was right outside my apartment building and i would usually go with friends from the building.
By Grade 2, I went by myself. I lived just down the street, and my Mom could watch me walk the whole way. It was not far at all.
Kindergarten. The school was right across from my house. I could see into my bedroom sitting in the classroom. It sucked. :evil:
Kindergarden - I was about 4 blocks from school, and already fairly independent.
I went to a babysitter after school for a bit, but one day she skipped town w/out telling my parents. I had just gone home, and took care of myself. My parents figured I was probably safer on my own instead of relying on others to watch me.
Depends what you mean 'by yourself'.I've always caught a bus to school up until I started to drive.
In Primary School the bus stop was across the road, so I used to just wait there by myself from about year 5 onwards.
The first 6 months of High School I had to be driven half an hour to get to the bus stop. Then up until year 11 I always got a lift in the morning and picked up in the afternoon from the bus stop, as it was 3 kilometres from my house and I wasn't going to walk it. In year 12 I started to drive myself.
My mother drove me to school, simply because it was convenient. The last year of my schooling, I caught the bus every day.
When I was 8. Sometimes I would get a lift to school but I always had to make my way back. I used to walk to school from a backlane right outside my house that was about 15 minute walk leading to the street where the primary school is located. I would walk the same way back. I had victim written all over me but nothing ever happaned. I'm quite offended actually, what was I not a good enough child to kidnap! :evil:
