[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here,

She'll be fine. You'd be surprised by how quickly they adapt. They filter out all of the unfamiliar people and seek out their friends. It's not much different than recess when we were kids. It seems chaotic to an outsider, but kids have their own way of normalizing the noise.

Also, we don't cover before school because we have to get ready for the day to begin. You can't drop off because of safety reasons and it's very disruptive having parents come in. One parent may feel like they're just popping in or just want a quick word, but when you multiply it by 20 it gets out of hand.

Why are there safety reasons in the classroom, but not in the cafeteria (with apparently 1 adult per 60 kids?)  And not all kids adapt.  Some just don't externalize, and are miserable.  At least for K, it would be the right thing to do to make before school less intimidating.  I do understand why you need to limit disruptions in the classroom for yourself, but there must be other ways to handle this.  [/quote]
