Never was a part of that crowd. Heck, I often rode my bike to school, sometimes even walked even in grade school.
Parents never even knew about my grade school walks.

@SW-User Yes! Had no choice when you miss the bus. My continuous record was at stake.
All six elementary years and all three junior high years, I technically never missed a day of school. I was a bit late.
They where very happy about that record! Though never said a word about it. It was expected, despite few ever doing it.
If I didn't get any years award, I really would have been in serious trouble!
My father was a very strict person about that.

One more question - sorry. You walked to and from school in the pouring rain? In deep snow?

@SW-User no. No such thing in southern California. Yet school was at least two miles away.
Worst was a light rain. Which I could hide away from for a bit.

@SW-User can't tell if there was a tiktok, IG, or X video in there. Those three I just can't see on Firefox. 🤷🏻♂️

Which three? I'm on Firefox, too. You mean the spacing I used? That was to emphasize the grinning emoji.
