Why do they even have art class for Kindergarteners? Such a huge waste of time. They don't make anything 'artistic' anyway. Time better spent doing other neater work - worksheets, reading, computer lab time.


I know, right?! Why do they even let them try to write? It's all jibble jabble. And they are way too loud at recess. Lock them all up in the closet until they are old enough.


Loud and MESSY. So messy. The kids play in the dirt and come home with grass stains on their pants.

WHYYYYY is the teacher letting my kid play in the grass? DS wrecks all his pants that way.


I know - I think they shouldn't let them outside at all!! That's ridiculous that they get dirty. And sometimes my son comes home with jelly on his shirt from his PB&J. JELLY!!! How could the teachers do that?!?!! And I've heard that sometimes the teachers even let them talk in the classroom - those little voices are so squeaky and annoying. WTF is going on in our schools?!?!


What school lets you pack peanut butter?

THAT is unacceptable. The lunch aides should be required to provide bibs and clean up any jelly spills immediately.

My other concern is ketchup. Why does the cafeteria serve ketchup? It stained my kid's brand new Janie and Jack dress. It should be banned.


Wait - your school still serves ketchup??! Our PTA petitioned the school and DID ban ketchup. If they didn't we were going to switch schools. I can't even imagine kids eating ketchup at lunch.

The PTA did a wash test and didn't find that PB stained so it was allowed. APS.

Hilarious!

Not to totally pile on OP, but hopefully you realize that you're being unreasonable.

Why would you dress your kid in an outfit that's nice on a day she has art?

common sense . . .

Wash the dress again with spray and wash and then let her wear it again no matter what it looks like. Nothing wrong with paint stains.

your daughter's ruined outfit is just an excuse. You are upset at something bigger. It might it be that your husband is not paying attention to you, or you do not have a husband and your emotional/love life is totally nuled, or you are just a control freak with nothing better to do, I can't tell you exactly what, only you know.

Interesting take on this thread. Probably true, IME. Sometimes people are angry about other things and take them out on random people.

I used to teach school, and what you've said about the paint and markers is very true.

OP, I wouldn't be upset about a $5 outfit being ruined. Kids should wear clothing to school that you wouldn't be upset about if they were damaged.

yes, in psychological terms, OP is projecting her anger embodying it on a meaningless incident.

It's not a huge waste of time to all the future artists and creators of the world.

Just designate that dress "art day dress" for the rest of the year.
