I couldn't agree more, provided they extend the policies to include the
parents who insist on using a car to drive their kids to school

The Big Problem for many of these children, is that suitable training is *not*
available, yet the schools still insist on these requirements.

This is nothing new. In Birmingham in the 1950s we weren't allowed to
cycle to school unless we had taken the training and passed the Cycling
Proficiency Test.

Ditto. An hour knocking over road cones in the playground 🙂 'Twas
early 70s for me.

They made our training last several Saturday mornings. It rained.

When I were a lass... it was several of evenings after school at another
school on different side of town. So we had to cycle across town, on road,
to get to a place where we learnt how to use our cycles on road... That and
a Saturday too IIRC.

Or those parents who insist on allowing children to walk to school.
