Do they let second graders walk over a mile alone to and from school nowadays?

I just Googled my walk to school in first and second grade. 1.1 miles through suburban subdivisions. (I don't remember walking to or from kindergarten.)

Busses here are available to kids who live a mile or more from school. Kindergartners aren't released on their own recognizance, though, no matter where they live. As a practical matter, parents drive their kids - my kindergartner is an abberation as a bus-rider.
