My six miles in the snow to school didn't include strafing but it was uphill. Both ways.
They probably thought he was up to no good. Had it been me I'd have played hookie and hid out in a tree house eating Oreos and reading Playboy until the entire town was looking for me. Five miles! Screw that noise.
Geeze!
That sure was dangerous.
I mean, makin' a kid walk that far to school ... unarmed!
(yes, that's a joke)

The kid misbehaved and got told he can't ride. His mom agrees. How is it her punishment? How is the administrator that banned the kid from the bus not in equal trouble with the nanny?

Well to start with....
I walked to every day for 17 years until I got to Jr. High (middle school for you younguns) and during that time nothing or nobody bothered me after I killed a b'ar with a spiral notebook.

Wasnt that baritone kinda heavy to carry and how did you get him into the case?

It was a pretty near thing, but I think the maddest I ever got my father was the time he was going on about how he had to walk three miles to school, even when it snowed, and I said, "yeah, I've heard this one before. Uphill both ways, in the snow in the hottest part of July."
Pow. Right to the moon, Alice.

Sgt. Waterworth has a point, though this mother does not deserve to be punished. She was taking a risk I consider unacceptable in these screwed-up times.
We live in the hills. My daughter missed the bus one time too many and instead of driving her, I made her walk to school, about 2.5 miles. I walked with her (I work at home, so have some leeway that most people don't have). There was NO F*ING WAY I would have made her walk by herself. Do I really have to explain why?
Several neighbors taking their kids to school stopped and offered us rides, but I politely refused and explained why.
Two weeks later, she missed the bus again. This time, no neighbors stopped.
That was the last time she missed the bus.
