Parents evening @ school

wotcanido · 2024-06-26T18:12:17+00:00

It was parents evening last week at kids sch ABIU to think it is not nice to have a register to sign in when it's ones booked time to go in & speak to child's teacher? The register is got the child's name, and parents names next to it and a signature box to sign in. ABIU to think there shouldn't be parents full names on the registration form? For privacy reasons?

A parent from school wants to know your surname and you are so concerned about them knowing your full name that you worry about them seeing it on the Parents Evening list...even though your full name is not on there? Is that right?

Yes not my full name but my surname is right there on the list

Perhaps OP doesnt want to be SM stalked.

Set privacy settings on SM to avoid this as much as possible then?

Also why would someone take a photo? Wouldn't they just remember your name

She will find nothing actually, because it's not even my full name on the sch register anyway 🤷🏽‍♀️

No secrecy but I have heard a particular parent going round asking other parents if they know my surname (they all know my 1st name) they all don't know my surname so they couldn't tell her. But I wonder why she can't just ask me directly. I don't normally do runs but she se's me occasionally and she's got my phone number because our kids are in same class hence same what's up group to keep abreast of things

I just thought since she can't ask me directly but chose to go round asking (I wonder why she wants to know) I would not make it easy for her to know- all she needs to do is ask me 🤷🏽‍♀️

Some women wants to know your surname and this is how much attention you give to it....Jesus you must have time on your hands 😂

They wouldn't need to take a photo but they might be like ahhhhh Cheryl Tweedy is here I'll let the press know

Show quote history

Arvlw you saying because Cheryl has had a few surnames? Otherwise it doesn't make any sense

I do like the "what's up" group, I may adopt that I'd you dont mind @wotcanido

Teacherprebaby · 26/06/2024 21:46

Are you in MI5 ffs

@summersofdoom

I am more curious about why is going round asking for my surname 🤷🏽‍♀️

If it's an invite, she can write my 1st name or ask me for my surname🤷🏽‍♀️

You still haven't answered the question.

AGoingConcern · 26/06/2024 21:36

My god, get a grip. She's probably trying to update her contact list and she's trying to avoid asking you directly because she's worried you've already been introducted and she just forgot.

Or maybe this whole thing is a fantasy in your head.

Schools do not have time for this ridiculousness.

Riversideandrelax · 26/06/2024 21:32

Privacy in what way? Who don't you want to know your name? And why? 🤔

For God sake. It’s to keep a register of attendance in a central place. How else do you want them to do it?

mountaingoatsarehairy · 26/06/2024 21:25

How would we know OP?

is your surname BiggusDikkus ?

or Trump?

or BinLaden?

or Middleton?

you are paying too much attention to gossip. Ignore it

wotcanido · 26/06/2024 19:22

Of course under normal circumstances no big deal but not when you already have some very nosy people who you know will take note of the name or even a picture of it and go home to google it no doubt 🤣

I don't think you are that important. We take a register so we see the % of who actually turns up. Many parents book appointments but don't show up.

WonderingWanda · 26/06/2024 21:22

No one gives a shit who you are op. They are only interested in how far behind the teacher is with their appointments and how long they will have to wait.

Sunshineclouds11 · 26/06/2024 21:21

Can you just ask her please?

TooLateForRoses · 26/06/2024 21:21

@TooLateForRoses

🤣 I am sort of though 🤣 but I wouldn't give details at all.

There you go then! She recognises you

@HappierTimesAhead she wouldn't get anywhere with my name unnoticed- it s a very very very rare name & the name wouldn't even suit/match her anyway- she would be detained almost immediately at any entry port 🤣

oh here we go 🙄
