Why? That drop off policy was making me a nervous wreck. I don't like dropping my 5⁄6 year old off at the gate and not being 100% sure she's in her teachers care.
Why else would I want to homeschool her? Do I seem like the type of person who would just love teaching fucking kindergarten?
Let's put it this way: my sister-in-law has a daughter the same age as your daughter's.
She also drops off (at the same school my kids attend).
My kids take the bus by the way.
Anyway, she's very overprotective, however, she has managed to keep her composure, knowing that her daughter had to walk from the curb, to the school entrance and down 3 separate hallways to get to her Kindy class.
This woman is nervous about many, many things when it comes to her girl, but I've never heard her once mention that she fears a stranger nabbing her daughter during drop off.
Well you're talking to someone that didn't let their kids go to school on their own until they were old enough to drive themselves. All through elementary I walked them there and around 4th and 5th I'd watch them walk through the gate and in middle school I dropped them off.
There was one time in middle school my son wanted to ride his skateboard to school with his friend and I allowed it. He had to ride it over the bridge and about another two miles after that. Luckily for me it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and he never asked to do it again.
