    This is absolutely lovely. Innocent sweet children having fun while walking to school. They are getting their exercise for the day and no obesity seems to be present. Exercise is very good for the development of the students’ brains and I hope this continues as a part of their daily routine. I was just sharing with someone this week that as a child we enjoyed playing four times for the school day.: before school, at recess in the morning, after lunch and at recess in the afternoon. According to the Mighty Sparrow, “school days were happy, happy days.” If I had to be young again I would like to have it just the way it was.

    Love this, looks likes so much fun. Looks a bit danderous to see them walking alone on their own in the middle of the road but I’m sure no accidents have taken place else we would have heard about it. Wish I was having that walk myself today.

    Those days child obesity didnt exist. Children walked to and from school, ate tambarin balls, coconut cheese, coconut tablet, soursop and coconut icepop, and drank plenty lime squash with brown sugar. We must go back to those ‘poor days’ habits.

    This looks like a public road. government should try to get a sidewalk going on at least one side of the road since, this is obviously a road school children use on a regular basis.
