My kid is starting school and I should be sad, not scared.
I’ve always known I would be an emotional mess on my child’s first day of school. I used to joke that I shouldn’t even be allowed at drop-off that day because my emotional display will be too embarrassing. While in reality I know internally I’ll feel like the embarrassing mom, outwardly I will handle myself appropriately.
I don’t mean fear of my kid getting bullied, or fear that they won’t make friends easily, or fear that they won’t like school. That’s normal. Everyone with a kid in school feels those things. I am talking about the fear that every day I drop my child off at his American school, I have to wonder if he will come back to me alive and well.
Until it wasn’t an uncommon occurrence here, and school shootings would - very quickly - stop shocking the nation. Since Columbine happened in 1999 there have been almost 300 school shootings in the United States, and counting.
There is no way the schools can control children touching each other, or getting close to one another. There is no way the schools can prevent anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers or COVID-deniers from sending their children to school to put everyone else’s kids at risk.
