One and a half miles is a perfectly ordinary walk to school and it would do the boy good.

Parents Kelly, 26, and David Taylor, 33, of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, uprooted so five-year-old Aiden could go to the same school where he attended nursery.
But the family soon found out that they were still outside the catchment area - by just 12 houses - and were refused a place after a council allocated them a school further away.
As a consequence of the decision, Mr Taylor will now have to make 12 bus journeys a day across Huddersfield in order to get both Aiden and his younger brother to the correct school and back.
The family moved in May last year to ensure that Aiden was able to go straight from nursery with his friends to St Thomas Church of England Primary School in the Bradley area of the town.
But Aiden has been home-schooled since September while his parents battle to get him into the school where he went to nursery.

I had to walk that distance every day to school and had to walk it home, it pisses me off when parents say I couldn't get my son/daughter to my preferred school and want the council to do something etc.

I will be doing a ITK now by suggesting they both could do with the walk the tub of lards.

Master Lard needs to grow a pair by travelling alone.

They are still babies at five and it is natural that he would be worried going alone on the bus at first, but they can always walk him until he is ready.
If I was the head of either school I would jolly well blacklist the family!

My brother and my sister were lucky to go the primary school round corner where we lived, I had to walk with my mumsie a mile and half each day to school, when it was home time we did the distance again.

The parents want pity and hope someone from the school will pick the child and so the parents can have lay in.
