My daughter started a new school.
She has come home with 3 seperate sets of paper.

Each with 2 pages printed front and back.

2 of the are the exact same.

Why the fuck do I have to wrote out her address 3 seperate times?! Why do i have to wrotes my email 4 times?! Her name so many times..
And on and on.

Im not doing the duplicate one. They can look at the other one.

But seriously its 2025! There should be a better system.

I suspect many people will avoid commenting on this due to the obvious own-goal.

If you're a teacher working with sen students, with this temperament, I'd be worried
Your posts are aggressive.
Also, as a teacher there are so many things to do that could do with streamlining, it's so commonplace I struggle to see why this would enrage you so much.

If you are an SEND teacher you would know why forms are sent out on paper.

Dontlletmedownbruce · 06/09/2025 18:18

There was a thread about this recently with many people complaining about the online forms and tech based admin parents are exposed to these days. Some people really struggle. While you might find an online form faster and more efficient, someone else would be much faster filling out a paper form and find it a lot less stressful. They probably get lots of phone calls and emails about the online systems, I suspect there is no saving in admin. Plus at least now they actually have a signature not some bullshit online scribble that differs every time you do it.

Yea, so crazy thing I can adjust myself accordingly to my situation.
A few people I k ow can manage it. It's called 'being professional at work'
I do the job, they pay me the money. It's a great agreement.

If you want that side of me you have to pay.
This is Mumsnet, not a school

I was at home, late and wanted a rant.
Didn't think so many vile unpleasant bully's would attend.

Also the comment about needing to.pay to get a side of someone that is moderate and normal.
Not representative of any adult I've ever met who works successfully with vulnerable young people for extended periods of time.
Scary.

Those minutes filling out forms have interfered with OPs daily quota of aggressive and hostile posting on online forums. Chin up OP maybe you could start some additional pointless online arguments tomorrow to make up the time.

Yes, it is indeed ‘lol’ that your own spag errors are funny to you, but you attack OP for hers.

I mean if for a single nanosecond you're taking any of this without a pinch of salt the size of the Sahara I'd suggest the OP's grammar is the least of your worries

Are you seriously suggesting I'm a troll.
Read the OP without your typical horrendous bullying mindset and wonder in what Universe someone makes that up?

I just wanted a rant.
And the horror of MN couldn't allow 1 mistype typo to rest.

Thats the issue. That bullies are continuously allowed to parade around without being challenged.

Take it with a pinch of salt by all means but that’s no excuse to pile on the OP with snide posts.
