DC1 obviously has a set of school shoes - these cost a fortune to get ones that stand up to the wear and tear.
They also need a pair of trainers for their PE kit, which is used once a week but must be in school all week, just in case.
they also need a pair of boots for when they go out on the field for forest school, which is used once a week but must be in school all week, just in case.
Now the school have said we need to provide 'flip flops or similar' with their swimming kit to walk from class to the pool (onsite). They swim once a week and guess what? the kit must be in school all week, just in case.
so I have to play for a duplicate set of boots, trainers and sandals which are worn for a maximum of an hour once a week (about 4 minutes in the case of the sandals) and because apparently we cant be trusted to send kit in on the right day it has to sit there all week.
AIBU to think that this is excessive? that surely they can use any of their school shoes/boots/PE trainers to walk to the pool? I feel I may as well just pay my salary into the school account!
