[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a great preliminary exercise for the OP in trust. Depending on the size of the school, there are anywhere from about 50 to about 200 incoming kindergartners. It would be impossible to give personal tours to every family, so instead the schools have developed systems for orienting new kids to the school. You were going to hand your child over for 7 hours a day to these folks, every day, starting in less than 6 months. You have to trust that they know what they are doing, at least until you have reason to believe otherwise. Without at least extending that benefit of the doubt, you are in for a very long public school adventure.[/quote] Thanks. DD goes to daycare every day for about 8 hours, so we do have experience with trusting others with our child, who does have special needs. Just trying to figure out how to implement a recommendation from a psychologist. It sounds like a school tour is not a good approach.[/quote]
