to expect a bit more notice?

[SweetnessAndShite]

DS has come home from school (primary) today - the last day before half term - with a letter to say that when they go back the school day will start 10 miinutes earlier! AIBU to think this is ridiculously short notice? My son went to a friends after school so I didn't get the letter till 6pm when there's no one at school to complain to. Does anyone know if the governors need to approve such a change? Shouldn't parents be consulted first? I will now have a 25 minute wait with my 3 yr old before pre-school opens as the school didn't have the courtesy to let them know so they could perhaps change the times too.

A new head started after Easter and seems to be making changes here there and everywhere just to put her mark on things rather than for the good of the school. Pah!

MrsLukeDanes You speak much sense.

I think I am overreacting a little as I was in parents assembly this morning and was disgusted by the behaviour. I've never seen the kids get away with messing around/chatting like that before - not even on the last day before Christmas. The teachers just didn't say anything. It just got my back upto start with. New Head seems like a limp lettuce to me but DS has just said she goes in to read with them everyday so perhaps not so bad. I'd just like her to find her stern voice!
