OK, please talk to me about the benefits of endless farking dressing up days before I buy a tomato costume and hurl myself at the headteacher.
DS1 (Y5) has to go in as a piece of fruit or veg on Friday. Because it's UNICEF day
DS2 (Y3) has to do some World Book Day nonsense, also on Friday.
Neither of them own any dressing-up clothes. They have jeans, tracksuits, and various dun-coloured tops.
Whywhywhy do schools do this so often? Does it have any actual educational/pastoral benefits at all?
All it seems to involve is me shelling out stupid sums for nonsense nylon rubbish from Amazon twice a term. The boys are just not bothered about the whole thing.
And no I'm not going to make something. I'm a single parent, I work f/t and I can no more sew an outfit than I can split an atom
Is this stuff easier if you have girls?
