To think we could all have been done twenty minutes earlier

[Todaysrollercoaster]

Have been given a form group for the first time in four years.

Tax payers, be glad. Twenty minutes of my time and your money on

SHOES. This is important because if you don't wear the right ones you won't learn anything.
SKIRTS. Too short and you're asking to be raped.
Top buttons MUST be done up and God forbid if you wear any perfectly normal addition to an outfit of jewellery or nail polish.

Let them fucking wear what they want and let me teach, FFS!

Me too... It can be stressful enough with my 2 kids let alone 30!... Especially secondary age!

I wonder why so many parents don't just buy the correct shoes/type of trousers in the first place. I have a friend who repeatedly argued with the school as her daughter wore trousers were 'skinny' cut. She used to say she felt she had to stick up for her daughter as the trousers didn't affect her learning and although I agreed I thought she was just making life more difficult for herself. Her daughter then came to work with us as a Christmas temp and we had the exact same type of issues with her. Unsurprisingly my friend was not happy and couldn't see the fairness in it when her daughter wasn't selected to be kept on.

Rules such as asking to take a jumper off or what colour you can have your hair are just ridiculous though.

But did you ask permission first?

I have been told this many times, and it's true, but what I don't understand is, if trousers don't affect learning and it isn't important what they wear - then why not wear the uniform?
