OK, I'm not exactly overburdened with common sense, I'm the first to admit but DS' school today takes the biscuit.

First off. Childminder texts me, her ma is unwell but she'd pick up DS and drop him off at school (me and DH due at work) Not her fault but DS getting wobbly because of the changes.
Get Granny to drop DS off at school. They were 5 mins late. The kids were due out to walk to the nearby church. The staff start fussing about DS' coat (he hates wearing it and had left it in his locker) and he goes into meltdown when they asked him where it was. They assumed he didn't have one and told him he needed one to go to the church.
More meltdown.

Granny had to take him home with her - he couldn't settle.

Bloody hell - he's supposed to have FULL TIME 1-1 who should know to check in his locker for stuff. I rang the school and asked that they should check his locker for a coat.

And lo and behold, they found it and apologised. I then get told 'oh it was folk dancing in the afternoon, he wouldn't have liked that' Well, he didn't even get to try, did he? Then she says, 'oh it's activities for the rest of the week but I'll stick by him to do all that' Oh, like you're supposed to then? Because that's your job

All this was totally unavoidable. I spend my life do 'fire prevention' IYKWIM to ensure life is as easy as possible for DS and everyone around him and those nuggets cock it all up by not applying common sense...

And breathe....

:(

Only one day in his life? He'll have loads of other good ones?

Yeah, of course.

I'm just a bit cross cos I had to ask Granny for a favour when I know how she's pushed looking after her own parents. And I got my ear chewed off by the boss for being late to work...Angry

I also get cross because it seems the school like to get DS off the premises as soon as a school trip crops up - especially as he has a 1-1 (supposedly)

You should put it in writing. Polite and as nice as possible, but if they suspect you are creating a record it might stop it from happening again.
