Parents more tearful than kids as they begin educational journey

CHAMPAIGN – First day of kindergarten for students at Robeson Elementary School: One little girl cried. One father with a video camera got choked up.

It's a big day for children and an emotional one for parents. But the teachers skillfully get the children settled, and by 8 a.m. Friday, they sit quietly at their tables, ready to get to know each other and learn what school is all about.
