its for the juniors only, so just dd1 going, but arrrrrrgh. she is going to be so grumpy on tuesday, as on the same day as the disco is sports day.

its only one night.

dd1 needs 12 hours sleep as is a grumpy goat.

friday nights are disco night

Surely they could have done it on Friday, or 6-8pm instead?

DD1's primary school always used to do that aswell....bugged the life out of me.

While I'm here can I have a quick rant about her secondary school and their trip to London this week.

They get back approx midnight on Thursday night (last year apparently it was 2am!!!) and are still expected to attend school on Friday for half a day (last day of term).....

...I don't fecking think so

Yes, you're unreasonable. It's only one night and you're not forced to send her.

At our school we can only have discos Thursday nights because the hall is booked the other nights.

We also have to have 2-3 different sessions each time because of numbers, so the last junior one finishes 8.30-9. There's no way we could fit them in otherwise.

I'm sure there are very good reasons why it is that night and that time.

It's only one night and although your dd may be tired the next day at school, it's so close to the end of term that it's not as if they are going to be doing much real work anyway.
