to be annoyed at the school receptionists blatant flouting of my right to privacy?

[compackedandbijoux]

We're new at the school, DD1 started reception last week.
I took done contact forms in this morning to the school office window.
THe, very nice, woman took them off me and left them by her side and carried on dealing with the que - with my address completely on show, for any Tom dick or Harry to nose at!
We are exceedingly well respected in the local community as business people and I really don't think that this info should be getting into the public demain.
At least 8 other adults were dealt with after shed put the form down.
Could/should I complain to the HT re the data protection act?
I'm really upset by this.

What are you afraid might happen?

Are you Kate Middleton? If not, I think you may be overestimating how interesting your contact information is to the general public.

Do you mean in the queue? What do you do that's worthy of such respect and is it so, like, amazeballs that you don't appear on the electoral roll?

Get over yourself!!!
YAB totally U

Are you never going to have play dates or birthday parties to keep your address secret?

I think yabu

Oh for goodness sake.

You will sound like a loon if you complain.

Chill out, it's nothing major. If you are so well known, they will already know where you live. YABU

Ooooh - what do you do!?

:o

Some people are lucky that this is their issue of the day.

What fait said.

What makes you think another parent is going to be that interested in your address more than anyone elses because you are 'exceedingly well respected'.

Are you the mayor or something?

Did someone actually say "amaze allo"??

And, when you have other children over for tea, are you going to blindfold them?

Amazeballs

Is this for real???

'exceedingly well respected in the local community as business people' ( ok, not a perfect quote, I'm on my phone and can't remember it verbatim). Do get over yourself, seriously. Have you any idea what a prat you sound?

But, the form said confidential. So surely it should be treated as that? All those other parents/grandparents/whatever could have memerised the info. I don't know what for Badgerina, not a mindreader lol.

that is all

Why would anyone be so interested in your address?

Well, I can vet whose coming round to play?

how strange, if your DD has friend's over to tea will you blindfold them so they can't tell anyone where you live? Or will you have parents meet you at a neutral location for secret handover?
