[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC 7th grader wears school outfit to sleep, backpack/school laptop/cellphone go downstairs packed to charge and ready to pack in the morning ( school laptop losing power quickly and takes long time to charge; cellphone can only be used after dismissal, there’s no room teacher nor front desk to help communicate between parents & their kids). Lunch box/water bottles are ready to pack in the morning. Arrives at the school bus stop 5 min early so leave enough time at least for first week. There’s only 5 min in between bells to either run to restroom or locker ( teachers would mark tardy if you’re late to classroom, but students can go to restroom after class started ), so DC try not to drink water and doesn’t use restroom in the morning, and brings 2 classes folders/binders at once.

Why? This is a terrible habit to teach. They are old enough to get themselves dressed in the morning. It shouldn’t take more than 2 min to put on clean clothes in the morning.  Would you go to work in what you wore to bed all night? [/quote]

What’s wrong with putting in clean tee and legging before bedtime? We wash entire bedding weekly. What specific outfits students must change into before going to school that you suggest? [/quote]
