Will my DC get laughed at in secondary if everything is name labelled?

I'm talking rulers,pencil cases,drink bottles etc with sticky printed name labels. Dtwin2 says they will. Confused

Good old Sharpues are my friend. This is my chance to say how much it annoys me when kids' stuff has black labels, grrrr. I have to write DD's initials on the inside hem of the light colour in her two-tone sports kit

Some kids scratch their initials/name on their ruler with their compasses. Biro on the inside of the pencil case and school bag.

Printed name labels are a bit excessive.

Ok good advice.

It's fine to label uniform, and PE kit.

It seems a bit OTT to label a ruler and a drink bottle

I wrote their initials inside of blazers and on back of ties when they first started

Oh dont do it surely by 11/12 they dont need sticky labels on everything get them to right their initials on stuff if they think they will lose them,

Label uniform, shoes, coats, PE kits and bags.

Don't label rulers, etc

Think is other parents with kids there say label absolutely everything that goes to school.Confused
