Dear Abby: 14-mile hike to school mere stroll, readers argue

DEAR ABBY: I thought that surely the school bus case was closed, but now I feel compelled to respond to “Saddened Psychologist,” who took the parents to task for making their 9- and 11-year-old sons walk 14 miles a day to and from school after they had been kicked off the school bus for misconduct. Obviously “Saddened” was cityborn and never held a job that

required physical labor or overtime. What difference is there in walking seven miles to school as punishment and getting up before dawn every day to do farm chores? I’m sure the farm kids of our country are still doing some of the same things 1 did while growing up on a farm —I fed the chickens (all 3,000 of them), milked cows and cut broccoli in the field for market before sunrise. And how about the thousands of

kids who are up before dawn delivering newspapers, then come home for breakfast before going to school? “Saddened” felt that a 10-hour day was out of line. Many young people today are so involved in sports, they spend at least four hours outside their school day, either practicing or participating in one sport or another. This requires more energy than walking 14 miles a day—and it’s not for only five days, it’s for months and years. I wonder how “Saddened” thinks high school and college students who also happen to hold down fulltime jobs manage to make it? NELL IN LOUISVILLE, KY. DEAR NELL: If “Saddened” saw my mail, he’d be sadder still. Read on: DEAR ABBY: This is for “Saddened Psychologist,” who sent you a telegram saying the parents who made their kids walk 14 miles to school and back were guilty of child abuse. I’m 64, and when I was a kid, not only did I walk 12 miles to school and back, I grew up on a farm and had to milk the cows (by hand yet!) before I went to school. And when I got home 1 had to milk our cows again and do all sorts of chores before supper. (No TV in those days.) America is the only country in the world where mothers will drive their kids to the YMCA so they can get

some exercise. JERRY Z. IN WEST BEND, WIS. DEAR JERRY: Here’s another letter from a kid who walked: DEAR ABBY: I thought you might want to hear from someone on the side of the parents who made their kids walk to school. I lived a mile from school. My mother drove, but she didn’t drive me. She insisted that I walk. My friends’ mothers drove them and I thought my mother was being mean by making me walk, so I asked her why she didn’t drive me to school. She put her arms around me and said, “If I drive you, how will you learn, and have time to think? Walk, and learn, dear.” Well, I walked, and learned to love the smell of rain in the air and the feel of it on my face. I learned the feeling of snow crunching under my feet. I did a lot of thinking while I walked. It helped me to think things out instead of making quick decisions. I also met some nice people on the way. The lady who gave me a flower for my mother from her garden, the old man who was always waiting by his mailbox for a letter or a card from his children. (None came, but cards for every special occasion did come from me.) I am 17 now, and I still walk whenever I can because I enjoy it. My mother was right. I learned a lot by walking. GLAD I WALKED
