[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op you have to remember that the front office staff at many schools are really useless. Want to register your child. We’ll come get some papers to fill out.

Wait you don’t have everything scanned in PDF. Or even better fillable pdf. Nope.  This is the most basic Office admin stuff.  You’re kucky they answer the phone and take attendance.

If they were in a real office they would be fired.

And your supplies. I get it. I learned long ago. Send nothing but one or two pencils.  They gab all the loot and put it in a classroom pile.  Oh hell no.  You better damn well believe one year when my daughter said the teacher took her whole box of brand new pencils, I damn well told her to return them.

I didn’t donate to the class extra pile.  So you learn. You send nothing but the bare minimums. I’m not the damn supply bank.

And to not get a response from the Principle. Even a simple thank you for letting us know is pure BS.

They have phones with email. They carry laptops with email. 
They are professionals.  Not the old ladies in the office. 
I’m with you, I expect a response to my email. [/quote]

You sound awful. So your kid is the one who comes to class and bums supplies off of others? Nice.

There is no communal pile. DC spent part of the first day putting initials on all personal supplies in permanent marker.

Maybe the front office staff was spending the day ensuring that the children got everything they needed and were where they were supposed to be... ya know like they're supposed to be doing. Not coddling petulant adults.
