How old are the kids? How far is the walk? Do they spend other time outside when it’s hot? Do they have outdoor recess? What are normal high summer/low winter temperatures in your area?

I would not but that is me.. my oldest daughter has asthma so extreme heat and extreme cold effects her breathing

I am just going to go out on a limb here and say if it bothers you enough you're questioning it, probably not.

From 4th graders to highschool seniors. Some do have a very long walks home. This would be normal summer temperatures. School was started a month earlier this year too. I live in the Mohave Desert in California.

Depends on the distance and how my child felt about the situation. That being said, there should be an alternative for kids who do not want to walk in extreme weather conditions. And I certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable with anyone walking alone. (Someone needing medical help or someone being kidnapped) there’s always safety in numbers.
