[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Front office staff here and PSA: dress your kid in layers. Hoodies are fine, but make sure there's a t shirt underneath it. Consider adding in a complete change of clothes.

[b]Yesterday a student insisted upon calling home to change clothes because she got some mud and gravel on her shorts and shirt. Huge waste of time for all involved. Mom raced in with outfit change. Kid refused to wear the school's extra clothes (gym uniform).[/b]

Do you parents have an extra ten seconds to wipe the breakfast off of your kid's face? Or shirt? How about running a damp comb through your DC's hair? Bedhead and breakfast and the stink of skipped showers and shampoos make me gag. Act like you care.

Most all kids need deodorant by 4th grade if not way sooner. [/quote]

The problem there is the student "insisting" on calling for a not-even-close-to-an-emergency, mom enabling it, and the kid "refusing" to wear the clothes offered by the school.  That, right there, is a spoiled kid.  My kid doesn't need to haul around a spare outfit every day on the off chance that she gets dirty on the playground.  [/quote]

+1 I consider my kid's school a very kind place. In this type of situation, my child would have been told in a firm and friendly way that this was not a situation that required calling mom and she would be wearing the extra clothes provided by the school.[/quote]
