Some see a narrow street around Orchard as a be it and end, looking down at others. That is something we should never instil in future generation.
I have serious reservations sending my kids to school everyday when they get older. Now that public commuting infrastructure is really advanced compared to the 90s, our parenting style should evolve too in line with LTA schematics.
IMHO, kids should learn to share a ride, give up their seats and understand more about their surroundings and community. Only through active commuting do they see that, not through a car back seat window with their eyes glued to YouTube. They may go back to a private condo or landed as their dwelling, that contrast everyday will hopefully at least make them grateful to what they have.
