[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will not remove my shoes in any home. This is part of my clothes, the shoes match the dress or pant or whatever, and I am not walking around with bare feet in your house, with everyone else's bare feet. I also do.not.want.to.see.everyone's toes. Gross.  Do you see this at State dinners, or dinner parties, or the theater, or [b]in schools,[/b] or anywhere? Learn to clean your floors. No. Jesus. If you need to do this, warn 
everyone ahead, so they can bring their inside shoes. [/quote]
Actually the elementary schools (and daycares) around here require a change of shoes. Indoor shoes and outdoor shoes. [/quote]

I have taught school for 38 years, 11 different schools, 3 regional areas,and overseas. I have never encountered that anywhere. AND that would never be able to be enforced. Asking a kid to be responsible for even one set of sneakers is already pushing it.  Come on. [/quote]

Our daycare in Bethesda requires this and everyone complies, no question. Three pairs, actually (shoes they arrive/leave in, indoor shoes, outdoor play shoes). You should see how dirty the last pair of outdoor shoes were that came home. [/quote]

Well, yes if you have a pair of shoes that is dedicated for outdoor time for a toddler and they are never washed of course they will get dirty.  Do all these shoes off people never wash their shoes?  Never mop their floors?  Never vacuum?[/quote]
Shoe-off person, I wash my floors waaay more often than I wash my shoes. 
But the point was that it IS common for daycares and schools to require non-outdoor shoes inside. People are acting like it's crazy but I think some pps just live in a bubble and haven't talked to anyone new...ever. [/quote]

I don't think I have ever had a conversation about the shoe practices of daycares that my kids didn't attend.  Kind of a weird and random discussion topic, not sure it means I live in a bubble, just have more interesting things to talk about.  [/quote]
And yet when it's brought up on here, you and pps act like it's crazy and has never happened  :roll: Shoes off is far more common than certain people want to acknowledge. [/quote]
