On my daughter’s first day of first grade, after I dropped her off, I saw one of her Kindergarten classmates walking towards the school, alone. She saw me and headed right towards me (I was a classroom volunteer so she knew me well). She had no idea where to go, who her teacher was, or anything; her mother just dropped her off at the end of the street. I got her situated. It turned out that she was held back and was repeating Kindergarten.
