[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This one’s on you, OP. Pay attention to school notices going forward and stop blaming others.[/quote]

It's on BOTH OF THE PARENTS, not OP. The kid has two parents. [/quote]

OP says she is the one who threw away the flyer without reading it, and didn't read the email.

Now, it's possible that her spouse also ignored communications, but a school can't be blamed for being sexist if they sent something home in the backpack and the parent who emptied it was female, or if a family doesn't give a shared email for home/school communication.

I'm also entirely unsure how OP told the difference between singular and plural "you" on the phone.

I'm a teacher.  I make an effort to include both parents on communication, but if I've got a kid left behind at the end of the day I have to call someone first, and I'll start with the parent who does pick up.  [/quote]

You aren't that bright. It's not the school that is sexist. The person called her, mom (OP), and said thier child is alone because YOU (the mom) isn't here. They did not call dad. They did not say the kid was alone because his dad also forgot. Women are the ones who do the blaming and then they complain society doesn't expect both parents to do the parenting equally. You can't win.

If the OP comes back and confirmed that the VM said "you isn't there", I will change my comment about not knowing whether it was singular or plural you.  I will also suggest that she find a preschool where people speak properly.

Married couples divide up responsibilities.  It's not my job to police who unpacks a backpack in their own house.  It's not my job to decide whether mom always picks up due to sexism, or because she's the one who works closest and dad does other things.  But, for any given family, I'm going to expect what I see.  If I only see mom pick up, then when no one shows up, I'm going to call mom's number first.  If a family's routine is that mom unpacks the backpack, because she's home when the kid and backpack get home, and she does or doesn't tell Dad about a flyer, I'm not sexist because I put the flyer in the backpack to begin with.  The school presumably emailed to the email they were given, put the flyer in the backpack that goes to the house where both parents live, and called the person who picks up most days.  That isn't sexist, it's common sense.  [/quote]
