Apologes - this s long and turns into a bit of a rant.
At Easter - after trawling the south of england trying to find DD a pair of school shoes that would a. fit and b. not have butterflies/fairys/sparkles on, I gave up and got her a pair of black crocs. (yes i know some of you don't like crocs)
in favour of crocs:
DD will wear them
they are comfortable
she can run around in them
they don't have sparkly bits
they are easily cleanable
they won't give her bunyons
Now DDs school have told her that she is not allowed to wear them.
I've looked at the uniform policy - it states - shoes to be preferably brown or black. that's all. I saw her teacher this morning who mentioned the shoe issue - I didn't rant just quoted the policy back to her and asked why not black crocs. She didn't know and told me to talk to the head.
So am i going to have to once again trawl the country for shoes to fit dd? she won't be wearing cheap ones from woolworths, or ones that will damage her feet or slip off as she walks (dolly shoe types). Or do i stand my ground and argue with the school (again).
We've had so many issues with dd and school this year it feels like i'm having to fight with them every week and like dd said this morning it feels like they've run out of things to tell her off about. Every time she settles down a bit and i manage to get her through the door without tears and much persuasion they pick on something and it sets her off again.
am a bit fed up with it.
