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.)

Im my 11 year old neice's suburban district (in New York State), the school bus stops at every kid's house, and a parent or guardian has to walk across the lawn and meet the kid at the door of the bus. It's insane, and hell on families wher both parents work, and single parent families.
