Mothers, get up and walk with your kids

I read the Sept. 16th article concerning District 15 busing with amazement. The students on my street walk up to one mile to school. Most certainly pass more than seven houses.

Mothers with concern about their child's safety could get dressed and walk with them as mothers on my street do. The walk provides a social time as well as exercise. Aren't we concerned about obese children? Three-tenths of a mile is not too far to walk.
