We've had a note saying that children will be rewarded with house points if they walk to school once a week and back, for 3 weeks. DC1 is already on about it, and there is no way we will be doing it. We live in the next village, four miles away, as do lots of children, as it's a faith school with a huge catchment area.
I asked why the school was essentially rewarding kids for things they have no control over, and they sad it was an attempt to reduce congestion at pick up time. But if they'd actually asked the parents who drive to school they'd find they're doing it out if necessity, not choice!
AIBU to think this is a crap way to sort out an unavoidable issue?
