Teachers Personally Walk 200 Kids Home From School Every Day

We couldn’t have dreamed up a better story to tell on International Walk To School Day.

Carl Schneider, a special education teacher at Whitney Achievement Elementary School, is part of a group of five teachers committed to personally walking home about 200 kids from school every day.

The volunteer group formed after a number of school staff realized that it might be a challenge for kids to make it home safely without a chaperone—the walk is two miles for some, through rough neighborhoods in Memphis, Tennessee.
