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.
