My 2 cents: there will always be a handful that have a hard time no matter what.  But, if you properly prepare your DC for the first day then the vast majority (even shy ones like my DD) will be fine.  We spent time at all the open houses in the summer (they host 3 popsicle socials with the K teachers), attended orientation, took her to the class the week before when we dropped off our school supplies (the whole school does this).  We talked to her and walked through what she had to do.  There was no need for me to walk her in.

You are making it very difficult on the teachers by walking them in. Those parents that disrespect the procedure and walk them in always -ALWAYS- leave their crying and distraught child behind for the teachers to deal with.  Not cool, imo.

Obviously, if your school allows it, that's another story.  But, our school has 1000 kids in it (FCPS) and catering to a bunch of crying Kindergarteners (when they may otherwise not) is not feasible.  Starting K was harder for me than my DC b/c we prepared her.  [/quote]
