So, his little sister starts school in September, and as in previous years, we expected her to have a couple of half days before doing a full day, so we've planned some leave from work so we can work round it, as have most of the other parents of new starters
Last night, at the new starters parents night, we were informed that the half days thing will run for two whole weeks, and she won't be doing full days till week three
Jeez, how come kids these days need two whole weeks to adjust to going to school? She's been going to preschool for full days for a year, she's had 3 sessions at school already, including lunch, and she's in and out when we drop off and pick up her brother most days anyway.
Seems to me the teachers are wanting an easy start to the year, and tough on all us parents who need to find some extra leave or some extra child care to fit in around them.
Apparently we aren't the only parents who have complained to the Governors today!
