[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see being stressed out if you have a younger elementary school child who you have to supervise out the door. A seventh grader can handle this on his own, so I don't get the stress as far as your morning schedule goes.[/quote]

It's the first day at a big new school and maybe the first time that a kid has ever ridden a bus before. There will be new faces, new staff, new building, new routine, new expectations (Middle school vs elementary school).  We are talking about a 12 year old, not a little adult.  Yes - the kid can probably do it all by himself.  But it's nicer if Mom/Dad can help with the transition to a new school. And certainly knowing where the bus stop is and when the bus comes is part of that adjustment.

You miss out when you don't attend Open House. It really does feel like throwing your kid into the water and telling them to "Swim!".  Luckily, most do swim and there are lots of folks at the school who will help out new students on the first day.  But don't expect anyone at the school to hold your hand as a parent.  They won't.
