Good evening Mam. My child mentioned that they felt like he was being thrown "into the fire" at school—I'm worried and would like to understand what that phrase means.

Great question, Ravi! I've heard this idiom a lot, especially when someone is having troubles. Let me help you to understand it better.
The phrase "THROWN INTO THE FIRE" means to be placed in a difficult, challenging, or stressful situation without much preparation or experience.
Here are some sample sentences to illustrate:
1. "Starting a new job without any training felt like being THROWN INTO THE FIRE, but it taught me to adapt quickly."
2. "The new teacher was THROWN INTO THE FIRE on the first day of school, having to manage a class without any assistance."
Thank you and hope this helps!
