    I used to live closer than that to my elementary school and I was forbidden (by the school) from walking to school.

      That kinda sucks, used to live like 900m from mine and walked back from school every day since I started it.

      Didn’t walk to the school because I was too hard to get up early enough for it and mom didn’t mind dropping me off in the morning

      That’s true for kids at my daughter’s middle school too, but I’m actually glad they don’t walk it because there aren’t even any sidewalks around the school, let alone between the schools and their houses. So some kids have a 90 minute bus ride and other kids have a 2 minute bus ride. All they have to do is build sidewalks and it will fix that problem.
