Another #parenting rant from me.
What is it with some school headteachers making up the most random rules? Do they think they are running mini dictatorships?
My son’s primary school introduced two new rules yesterday:
Firstly, they aren’t allowed to go to the toilet during lessons. That’s already hard enough at 6 years old, giving lessons can be 2 hours in length!
Secondly, you must be outside at all times during break time. if you are caught inside the building during break times, you get behaviour points.
What sort of nonsense is this? When are they supposed to go to the toilet?! Or are they supposed to go back to wearing nappies?!
My son was in tears this morning as he’s concerned about getting behaviour points just for needing the toilets.
(Obviously, after having a conversation with the teacher it turns out that there is an exception in the ‘no going inside during break time’ rules for going to the toilet - they aren’t completely stupid - but why not communicate this more clearly?! And why the obsesssion with requiring kids to be outside regardless of the weather?!)
Aaaaargh! 😡😡😡😡
