We--my partner, my kid, and I--have 2 days left to decide whether said kid stays enrolled at her neighborhood elementary school or enrolls in a specialized gifted education program that offers services she very much could use in a different school.

There are pros and cons. But the thing I can't get over is that the other school--the only place in the whole district where these services are offered--is in a no walk/no bike zone. As in kids are literally banned from & there.

What on Earth?? It should be illegal for a school to do that.

@ianrbuck they don't have much of a choice. They have no control over the infrastructure, and very little ability (if any) to influence transportation policy. It sucks mightily, but I completely understand the policy. I hate it, but understand it.

@DrTCombs
Just as they have no control over the infrastructure outside of the school, they shouldn't have control over how parents transport their kids outside of school.
