OK, I'm really losing it now. In the last two weeks, my ds, just started Y7 has lost:
1 Mouthguard, worn once, cost £33
1 Rugby shirt, worn twice, cost £27
1 PE shorts, worn 3 times, cost £5
1 PE tshirt, " " £5
1 pair trainers, £40
I keep telling himn to go and get them out of lost property but he keeps saying he's tried (fair enough, I've looked for some of this stuff myself and the lost property in this new school isn't a box, it's a room.
Apart from the trainers, it's all named. No one at school seems to have the job of repatriating named stuff (and I know it's his responsibility, not theirs).
I'm torn between being really annoyed, because obviously I can't afford to keep replacing things at this rate, and sympathetic (I do think they're a bit overwhelmed, esp. going from tiny village school to highly competetive,1,000plus grammar). What would you do?
