THE FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL
Can you remember your first day at school? It was probably rather confusing. Now to avoid this confusion many primary schools have a special teacher who welcomes new pupils. In England she is called a reception-class teacher. On the first day it is her responsibility to "settle" the newcomers. The difficulty is that a lot of people give their children the wrong idea about going to school. The children are threatened with the idea of school, and if they have been good, they can't understand why they have to go to school. They imagine that school is optional.
When the child goes to school, on his first day, he has to watch his mother leaving. Often he thinks that she is deserting him. The teacher must convince him that at the end of the day his mother and his home will still be there. The children are not the only people that are disturbed by going to school. The teacher sometimes has just as much difficulty in coping with the mothers. They are just as upset as their children. They hang around and dislike leaving the child to his fate. All day they stay at home, wondering what is happening and how their son or daughter is managing.
The best way to deal with the situation is to get the child used to the idea of school. Before the beginning of term the mother should take her child to see the teacher and to look round the school. The first day should be something to emphasize the regularity of school, and although the first day is difficult, the mother must remember that her child must be encouraged for a whole term at least.
