Check out this article from USA TODAY:

15 Chinese children make deadly climb to school

How to you tell someone that it was uphill both ways in that situation...

I am guessing there is a main road, but a lot further around.

We saw this and showed it to our kids. And asked how they would feel if their half mile walk to school was a half mile straight up a cliff instead of mostly flat or gently sloped terrain. Silence.
