It's just the first day of class anxiety and the parents attempt to make their kid feel as comfortable as they can. Not saying I'd ever follow a bus but my daughter was extremely anxious about her first day of class. She had no troubles in pre-school or kindergarten but grade one was the first time she would be spending a full day and lunch hour at school and she was really scared about not eating lunch at home. So we did everything we could to get her prepared for her first day. She was still scared up until the last minute but after it was over she could hardly wait to get back for day two.
