Oh my goodness, can someone give me some advice with this?
There are a few forgetful children in my class. I'm KS1, so it comes with the territory. Every other day, we have a lost jumper, and usually they are found.
Two children in my class have lost something this week, and their parents have been really angry with me. I understand completely that schools own jumpers are bloody expensive and I would be naffed off too if one went missing, but it has been suggested that it is my responsibility to keep track of what they are wearing and when.
One was a part of PE kit. I told the parent that on PE day I would ask all of the children to have a look for X's joggers, which I did- but nothing came up. I told the parent after school and they were really quite angry mad with me and suggested that I go through all of the children's PE bags after school to look for it.
My mentor said 'just send them to lost property as it might be there', but the same children are losing their things each week (and even though most of the time I find it!) so I keep on having the same charade with the same parents.
Any advice please
