A parent walks alongside her child. She grips his hand tightly. She is excited, to be sure, but she will shed some tears today as she leaves her child for his first day of kindergarten. Thirteen years later, she will watch that same child walk across a stage, accept a diploma and end his journey through the K-12 educational system.
