As my oldest goes into pre-k, in a formal school, it’s a big transition to how we approach our family’s relationship to the teachers, administrators, and the school as an institution. It’s clear that the other parents are also in the same boat, with some unspoken undercurrent of competitiveness that I don’t personally want to participate in.

Parents of older kids, what do you think other parents should know as their kids transition into elementary school?
