Again, you are attributing things to the entire county that are not applied county-wide. I was allowed to walk DD to her class her first day of kindergarten. I think the school allows it the first two days of kindergarten, but after the first day, we had our photo op, and checked out the classroom for boogie men. The teacher didn't appear to have two heads, so we dropped off at the front door, and let her do her job. We pick her up from the front lobby. If we have questions at pick up, we can walk into the office. What we can't do is have a mini teacher conference every day at pick up, which is what parents get used to in preschool, and what would ensue if schools didn't establish some boundaries.[/quote]

Well,  I consider you quite lucky. You got to walk her in on her first two days. [u][b]Irreplaceable.[/b][/u] I did not get to. Yes, I'm sad about that. I'd have liked to have seen her in her new classroom on her first day, and to have seen who her classmates are, and what seemed to be on the radar for them that day. I didn't actually plan to interrogate the teacher or secretly film her. I just wanted to feel that as my child's parent, I get to be there for her important days. This  ranks as one of the most important, and it is a bit crazy sending your 5 year old off outside the school's front door hoping she'll find her way to the opposite side of the building. [/quote]

First of all, I am sure there were staff members directing children to the appropriate classroom. Second of all, half the people I know sent their child off on the bus the first day. They didn't even go to the school at all. It is still special, whether you say good bye and take your picture at the bus stop, the front door of the school, or the door of the classroom. It is a shame if you couldn't appreciate the moment for what it was, not what it wasn't.  If the whole thing was such an ordeal for you, and you think other parents share your view, talk to the principal, and see if the policy can be changed. [/quote]

OP, really, you need to develop some interests (and some perspective).

Sheesh.[/quote]
