Safety comes first. Most primary schools suggest that parents should come along with their children on their way to school. I don’t think it’s a problem for the parents. They just have to stay at the school gate a little _______. Also, it’s very crowded around school gates in the morning. Traffic accidents may happen. Only _______school guards is not enough. If parents can help, there will be fewer accidents. 

On weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the school’s responsibility — not the parents’._______, the time when they have to guard is usually about 7:40 to 8 a.m., the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and late for their work. I don’t think this task should fall on the parents.

This request is not just about students’ safety, but also helping the school. It is a good _______ to improve relations between parents and schools. Secondly, parents can set a good example for their kids by working _______ for their school.

Most of these parents are office workers. They have their own things to do. They hurry to work every morning. To meet this new request, some may have to ask time off. This will affect their work performance. I think it’s better to ask for the parents’_______ first. If some are willing to volunteer, they can do so. But it shouldn’t be something that every parent has to do.
