‘I don’t want to go to school,’ a child cries. When parents leave here’s what teachers do

LA Times  

Students watch a video during Miriam Bernal’s transitional kindergarten class at Germain Academy for Academic Achievement on the first day of school. About 7:45 a.m. the 4-year-olds in Lourdes Serrano’s transitional kindergarten class realized they would be braving their first day of school alone. “I don’t want to go to school,” one student said tearfully, words that began echoing from other little ones as their parents stood near the door. It’s challenging in the way that they are so young,” said Serrano, who acknowledged that the start of the year mainly revolved around easing that transition to school.
