Is my occupation relevant to Ds education?

[chocolateandcoffee]

I got my Ds enrolment forms for primary school yesterday.

One for the questions was Mothers and Fathers occupations

Tbh I don't see the relevance of this question and I think it pangs strongly of my school days when doctors and solicitors children were treated as superior beings.

Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of what I do as is Dh. We have both worked hard to get were we are.

Aibu to Leave this space blank on the form, I am not going to voice my concerns to the school as I believe in picking my battles. Dh says to put down our occupations, I think it's none of there business and has no relevance to my Ds care or education. So who is right?

I work in a sector where we also ask that question on a contact details form. It's been asked for years and a new boss was recently that it should still appear, but the office staff were very keen it should stay. We'd never chase it up if the space is left blank, but the information placed there can be very useful (and telling).
