Just need to get other people's perspective on this as I'm not sure if I'm expecting too much / being a bit precious. So ds is age 8, year four, in a private school. They have sport every day and do various sports with various kits so lots of getting changed in the changing rooms.
They are nearly always unsupervised in the changing rooms, is this normal? At first I thought ds was making it up but on speaking to other parents they all confirmed there is rarely a teacher or any adult in the changing rooms. Ds hates being in there because its loud chaotic and often a bit "Lord of the Flies"!
I asked the school about it and the response was
" The children should try to only enter the changing rooms when a teacher is available. If they choose to change when there is no teacher then that is their own poor choice."
Wtf is that supposed to mean? Ds says they dont have a choice about when they change and are often told to do it in break time or lunchtime.
Am i being weird about this? I just think they are only 8 years old surely they should be supervised?
