<p>Elementary school buses here if you are in school area but greater than one mile.
Middle school buses seem to go out 4-5 miles. </p>
<p>I walk about 2 hours a day but when I walk with my daughter to school I am amazed at how SLOW she walks. ARGH. </p>
<p>IMHO (in my humble opinion) kids here in the Phoenix area should not be walking very far on afternoons when the school prohibits them from even recess outside (over 110)–which would be all of August (school starts 8/5), and up to two weeks each of September and May. . </p>
