With school set to begin in the coming weeks that means there are going to be a number of students going to school for the first time or entering a new school.

Ruby Sayers, who taught full time for 35 years before retiring this year, talked about how she believes it's actually tougher on the parents than kids when it comes to a kids first time in school.

"I think that it was the parents that have a hard time adjusting to having their little one going off to school for the time," she said. "Over the years I can remember very few kids ever crying, and if it did, it never lasted too long, once Mom and Dad were out of sight pretty soon they were settled right in, so I think it's harder on the parents than it is for the kids."

Sayers also gave some advice for any people going from middle school to high school.

"If you're going to a big school I can see where you might feel alone because it might be a new class or the kids you were with before are maybe in a different class," she said. "I guess the best advice is to think that you're not the only one, all of the kids entering Grade 9 it's their first experience."

Sayers added that the best advice for parents is to talk and to communicate with your kids about school on a daily basis.
