T.D.
I have had two children and NEVER had to do that. Now I also realize that each child is different. I have known alot of children that NEVER went to school before hand. Now what I did do, was in the summer. I start the routine before school so that the kids would be prepared and ready for the up coming schedule. This is suffient to prepare them for the coming schooling. You will have to decide if this is something you feel comfortable with or not. I will share my feelings on this one. That schooling is all about opinions. Who feels more comfortable with this or that. So decide what you do and do not want your child to have to do in school. I remember one time I got into a fight with the Principle and the Secretary cause they wouldn't let my daughter use the phone in the office. I went off! I told them that my TAXES payed for that stupid phone and she better be able to use that phone anytime she wishes and if there were anymore problems I would be calling my counselman. It was winter time and she was waiting for me to come from a Dr. Appt. they wouldn't let her stay inside. She was waiting in the snow when I got there. I was 10 mins late which I told her I might be. This was a grade school so you need to pre think some of the things that happen. Are you in walking distance or bus? Hope things work out well for you and let me know how it goes. Good Luck Momma
