This post is very timely, as school is starting, and my Ella just started first grade in a new class, with new teachers, and new kids. Your post completely explained why I fell apart after the parent meeting her teacher held before school started. In fact, you explained it so well, I forwarded this post to my husband so he would understand what I was feeling :) While everyone else was applauding the announcement of the first field trip of the year, I was turning pale, and trying to maintain a stable blood pressure. So many worries starting something new, and hoping I've done my job well enough to keep her safe while she's in their care.
