Do a reality check of the safety quotient of your child’s school—a place where she spends a large chunk of her day. We tell you how.
I wasn't well that day. So my husband went to fetch my toddler from school—for the first time. I was apprehensive: Will the school authorities refuse to hand my child over to him or call me to confirm? Nothing of the sort happened. Both got back home, happy and smiling!
When I broached the question to the staff the next day, the answer I got was: “He looked like his father.” My child doesn’t go to that school any more.
It is essential to check if your child’s school is safe. Here is what you need to watch out for!
Access to the premises
Observe if the security personnel question strangers entering the premises sufficiently. You also need to check if there is a sound visitor check-in system in place. Figure out the number of doors through which the school can be accessed from outside. If there are many, suggest to the school authorities to leave only two entrances open.
