Why not just drop out of school?

My grandmother once told me she had to walk 16 km (10 miles) to school.
When i was an adult, and was at the farm where she grew up, i walked from the farm to the school building.
It was only about 4 km (2.5 miles)
of course i guess it felt longer for her, because she was a child when she walked it in the early to mid 1930s.

I walked to primary school but it was only half a mile so not exactly a hardship. Secondary school I got a bus. We had no video games in them days, we had to make do with Ludo, snakes and ladders, draughts etc.

I remember walking to school in a point of my life, but our Nana or Aunt usually drove us during primary school. I got a bus for high school. Currently, I'm working remotely from college.

I do wonder if it just seems longer when you are a child, or your memory of it is just wrong.
When i was in school (primary school) we had this thing that once a year the entire school, had to run (or walk, nobody forced you to run) for either 2.5km (1.5 miles) or 5km (3.1 miles). and 2-3 years ago i walked the same place where we had to run. And it seems a lot shorter when i walked as an adult, than it did when i ran/walked it as a child.
