    Good for you! I wanted to add that here in Orlando you have to live more than 2 MILES to be bussed. Our city is among the nation's highest in pedestrian fatalities (I believe we're 4th on list this year,it's always the top 10) and they expect kids as young as 5 to walk 2 miles along absurdly busy streets,sometimes they have to cross 6 and 8 lanes of heavy traffic. last year a mother was walking her 5 year old home from school pushing her 3 year old in a stroller at a crosswalk when a driver ran the red light and killed both children. I thank the Goddess every day that I am lucky enough to be able to homeschool. It's horrific how little value children have in this society.
