We--my partner, my kid, and I--have 2 days left to decide whether said kid stays enrolled at her neighborhood elementary school or enrolls in a specialized gifted education program that offers services she very much could use in a different school.There are pros and cons. But the thing I can't get over is that the other school--the only place in the whole district where these services are offered--is in a no walk/no bike zone. As in kids are literally banned from #walking & #biking there.

@DrTCombsWhat the heck is a no walk/no bike zone?

This is a big freaking deal. We have always biked to school. We paid far more than we could afford for a house that made this possible. We have arranged our work schedules and lifestyles and vehicle ownership choices around the fact that our kid can ride her bike to school. If you follow me on social media, you know that my identity is wrapped up pretty tight in the idea that kids should be able to walk or #BikeToSchool.#KidsOnBikes #SafeRoutesToSchool

@wauz welcome to North Carolina. Where we build schools on high speed roads without sidewalks.

@DrTCombsI see. This state needs a regime change. I strongly recommend to turn it into duchy. I also volunteer as first duke.
