It doesn't seem to make any sense how we have to throw our kids into school so suddenly. I suppose everyone thinks that every child is at day care from 3 months on. That's just not the case. It seems that children would have an easier time if we could attend together for a few few weeks, like an educational play group. Then the time together would cut back until both parties feel comfortable and the teacher can take over. I am personally concerned for myself and my son who will attend this upcoming year as well. He's been with no one but me, and so, I worry. If he makes a fit and the school is unsympathetic I just might homeschool for the first year.
