So last few weeks of primary for me, ever! When my eldest left I bought gifts for the teachers and wrote a lovely cars. I was so grateful for the amazing support they had offered at the time. They went over and above.
Fast forward to now in covid times I don't have a particular issue with the class teachers themselves but am very disappointed with how the year is ended. I'm far from the only one. Someone set up a messenger class chat and the school have been absolutely roasted on it.
No leaving hoodies, no camping on field as a class, no leavers assembly, no other class trips organised. Nothing whatsoever. Despite this if I think about not buying anything I feel guilty but yet if I do I think they could have done more!
Am hearing of other local schools doing trips etc and not just saying no because it's covid!
