The holiday season has officially ended, and parents across the country have been hitting the road since the start of the week to drop off their children at school.

Parents and guardians of schoolchildren have expressed mixed emotions about the start of the new school year.

Some parents are worried about school placements, as many are still struggling to find places for their children.
