Should parents have their children drive to school?

Went to school both in Europe and in the PH. In Europe my parents had no problems letting 6/7 year old me walk to and from school alone. The school wasn’t even near. It was a good 30minute walk.

Back home in the PH it wasn’t even a discussion. Even if we were in a relatively nice village and the school was a 15minute walk away they refused. That and it was hot as fuck.

You don’t however need a yaya, driver, and a floating fortress. My parents dropped us off at school everyday then my mom tito (bum, no work lol) came to pick us up. We’re also nobodies so I guess we didn’t have to worry about any issues on that end (vs maybe high profile families).
