I was helping my nephew today, he got busy at work and couldn't pick up Zane from school. And things have changed since my own kids were that young!
Kids don't leave out the school gate until they are signed out by a parent. Because I'm not a parent, J had to leave my name with the "gatekeeper".
There were a LOT of cars there waiting for kids. And when the bell rang, students began streaming from the doors and I wondered how I'd pick him out of the crowds. Lucky for me, he spied me first.
The world sure has changed since I went to school. Even in second grade, I walked home six blocks by myself. When my kids were in school, my mom watched them, they walked three blocks and Grandma met them halfway and walked the rest of the way together.
If these are the changes that happened from generation to generation, what's the next generation going to be like?
