My daughter started a new school.
She has come home with 3 seperate sets of paper.

Each with 2 pages printed front and back.

2 of the are the exact same.

Why the fuck do I have to wrote out her address 3 seperate times?! Why do i have to wrotes my email 4 times?! Her name so many times..
And on and on.

Im not doing the duplicate one. They can look at the other one.

But seriously its 2025! There should be a better system.

Are you really throwing your toys out the pram about completely 3 forms of 2 pages each? Get a grip.

Not all schools run like this. My children's school sends out an online form to fill

I couldn't be more jealous right now.

Its 8 pages of the same information! Completely pointless. A waste of paper and admin.

Considering schools are complaining about budgets maybe they need to look into clear waste.

Maybe email them your suggestions.

Can I suggest you get a grip? You only had to write out your address and your daughters name.

I suspect many people will avoid commenting on this due to the obvious own-goal.

And they would be better people than you. Maybe you should aspire to be more like them?
