to think school would look after uniforms....

[iliketosleep]

As anyone knows, uniform for 3dc isnt cheap! but over £100 later they are all kitted out for school....

4 weeks later dd1 comes home with a big hole in cardigan from name badge, dd2s cardigan was taken by another child despite it having her name in and also whiteboard marker all over her shirt which wont come off (i've tried!!) and ds who has what i can only think is glue but looks like big grease marks on his jumper that wont come out

they look like scruffs

i never said the teachers, i said the school maybe the head! I know she sits in her office all day doing naff all thinking up schemes of getting parents to pay out yet again..........

And just to add I don't hold the teachers responsible for keeping the kids clothes clean and in one piece. Hell, I didn't even hold my CM responsible for keeping them clean. A clean child is a child who probably hasn't had a good time IMO.

Your head does naff all! Wow! She must be super efficient then

dd is just gone 6 and was given a whiteboard pen........I dont even allow felt tips into the house as they get everywhere......wonder if dd drew on the walls or floor "by accident" they would complain or dd would get punished

ohi fully agree if it was mud and the pen really isnt an issue, the holes in jumpers from bloody pin badges with their names on that they have to wear makes me and yes lol the head does naff all!!

Name badges are odd . DS#1 sometimes has a paper label with his name if they have a new TA in the class but otherwise not. His teacher knew all their names within a week in a class of 30. At least the school does something right

oh fgs, holes from name badges?! You really are sounding a little unreasonable now.

iliketosleep - our school had this problem with naff quality uniform - bobbling/shrinkage and just generally crap and polyestery.

Last year a group of parents researched the possibilities of changing suppliers and after a bit of consultation, the uniform has changed subtly and is fantastic quality but still reasonably priced.

We're phasing in the new uniform over the next year and everybody - parents and teachers - are really pleased with the new range.

As for the whiteboard marker - no solutions there I'm afraid.

im sounding unreasonable because my daughter has a hole the size of a 5 pence piece in a 4 week old cardigan from a badge that she doesnt needas everyone knows everyones name, there are only 12 to a class.......

didnt realise sorry, ill stop

The school have fleece jackets with the logo (£20) but very good quality, the rest is rubbish

oh sorry - sounded like you meant a pin hole. A 5p piece is a different matter.

no worries no its a big hole that cant even be sewn up looks like i gotta go shopping again in the half term...
