I couldn't agree more.
It's high time we stop discriminating against elementary school aged kids. There's no good reason why they shouldn't be allowed to drive themselves to school, or to their after school job.
Stop ageism and enable independent transportation and employment for all ages!
You say that but ebikes providing independent transportation for young people is so threatening to adults it's being banned
where? not in CT were the cellphone ban is happening.
it adds relief to the pick up line. ask anyone who works the front desk at any school about the pick up line. see the stress washover thier face.
I mean any 90 year old almost blind grandma/-pa is also allowed to drive so that is only fair.
