School Shouldn't Be For Hard Knocks

School Shouldn't Be For Hard Knocks
The first day of school is often bittersweet for the parents of a small child. Whether they are moved by just how much their little one has grown, anxious about leaving their son or daughter in the care of another, or delighted that they can finally return to work, it is a moment of great import. When a mother and father choose a preschool or weigh the various kindergarten options that are available in their area, they will carefully consider a number of factors. But without a doubt, the most significant requirement will be the belief that the newest pupil will be safe during the time at school. Sadly, this trust is often violated.
