My DS comes home from school soaked through or in spare clothes at least every other day. It's self inflicted because he loves playing with the water table and he isn't bothered by it. However, in a few weeks it will be freezing cold and it just can't carry on. He just doesn't seem to be learning to avoid it (probably wishful thinking).

The aprons they use start mid chest and don't cover the arms. Would it be reasonable of me to buy some more heavy duty aprons for the class? I don't want to overstep the mark but I know that they don't have money to spend. If so can anyone recommend any that won't be a pain for the teachers? Also should I ask first or just do it?

Thanks!

Honestly, a bit of food on a face is absolutely nothing in the junior years. Children have snot on faces, bloody knees, and food on faces. No one cares, there are a lot more pastoral issues to worry about. Very few kids would even care or notice in the junior school.

I'm a teacher, my own son is in grade 2, and often comes home with dirt or food on him. I couldn't care less as long as he is happy at school and is learning.
