to think the sodding school should replace the sodding PE kit

[dontknowwhatnametopick]

My DS started school in the summer and parents were asked to supply a PE kit in the first week. In the registration days we were also told that the PE kit would stay in school to save kids forgetting to bring them PE days etc etc.

Got a post it note in DS's book bag 2/3 weeks ago saying that he had no trainers in his PE bag, I spoke to teacher and pointed out that they must be somewhere as my DS has not brought them home, teacher said she would check again and if she didnt come across them she would let me know. Time passed I forgot about it until DS pipes up last night that he has NO PE kit at all, its all gone!

I have a number of mums from the school on my twitter so had kindly tweeted them to ask them to check their kids bags to see if they had mistakeingly took my DS's things, now the school he attends have their own twitter account to remind us of dates etc, well my DS's teacher runs this account so I get a private message from her saying "I told you a number of weeks ago that DS has no trainers and I know nothing about the PE kit as I dont take the class for PE, if its important please come into school and check for yourself"

Now I know the tweets I had send would have been seen by her as we all follow the school, I reminded her of the convo we had about the trainers and I had pointed out that unless the full PE kit had grew legs and took themselves out of school then they must be there!! She kept saying I dont take PE so I dont know and its maybe best if I just replace the whole PE kit.

Now AIBU to think that she should sod the sodding hell off, stop sending me private messages and that the school should take some sodding responsibilty?!

So the kit was in school?
Bags get knocked off pegs, drop behind things and sometimes get booted down the corridor by passing traffic. Sometimes a busy person will pick a bag up from the floor where it's a trip hazard and hang it back on the nearest peg.
This will continue happening for your child for the next 14 years, so you need to ration your rage or you'll be burnt out by the time he's in double figures.

Ds is in Y1. His school send PE bags home every Friday, not so much for washing as the kit rarely needs it after one or two sessions of half an hour, but so parents can check the contents and usually get the right stuff back to the right children by next week. Ds and two friends seemed to shove clothes into their bags at random for a while.

dontknowwhatnametopick, I would be more concerned by the fact that they only get 30/45 minutes of PE once a week. In Scotland your child should be receiving 2 hours of quality PE a week.

seems like crap sports sessions if it's all indoor, they don't get dirty or be active enough to raise a sweat... I'd be more concerned about thathe tbh.

I don't think you can expect schools to replace PE kits of other missing items. However, the teacher's attitude would really annoy me, considering your child has only just started reception. Things do go missing but it isn't good enough for her to just wash her hands and tell you to buy a new P.E. kit. It sounds as if she hasn't spoken to the person who takes PE or even made an effort to look for the kit. It may be a bit inconvenient and/or time consuming for her to do that but it is also inconvenient and expensive for you to buy another PE kit.
