Would you take your kids to Skool in your Jim jams.

Just reading on the BBC website that school on Darlington has banned parents from dropping there kids off whilst parents are dressed in there pyjamas. They said the final straw was when parents turned up at school for the parents evening and Christmas shows in there Jim jams.

What is that all about?

I think that back in the dim and distant past HiD might've done this but without ever getting out of the car and with an overcoat on - after all standards needed to be upheld

How can a school "ban a parent dropping the child of at school based on what they are wearing" ?! How ridiculous can you get

 

[upsidedown]

I know it was a different climate but you'd routinely see folks in jim jams and bare feet shopping in the NZ supermarkets , no doubt it was no different on the school run

 

[Break90]

No, that's just wrong.

KFC drive-thru maybe, but not the school run, and certainly not parents evening or a school show.

Well I sleep butt naked.

That'd make the news....

Not just dropping them off but attending parents evenings and assemblies in their PJ's! Dropping off your kids in. Your PJ's while remaining in the car once in a blue moon is just about okay. Kids take a lead from their folks and I agree with the request to dress appropriately.

Might do, butt I don't think it is banned. Yet.😘

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I saw that.....Darlington, not surprised as that is somewhere near the Northern Powerhouse.
However, I was surprised with the Dorset headmistress telling the parents off for sending their kids to school in an dirty and unkept manner.

Joking apart it is a pretty poor show.

A lot of onesies look like jim jams - and just as inappropriate for wearing when dropping off children at school - but after all what do expect in today's 'if I want to then I will' society where the thoughts and feelings of others take second place to the wishes and needs of the individual.

They are only driving their child to school for goodness sake

I remember seeing ladies in dressing gowns in 80's popping to shops whilst also still having their hair in curlers.

Yes they should wear appropiate clothing when attending a school event but dropping a child off at school - why should it matter to anyone else if someone is driving in a onesie or their PJ's

 

[full_throttle]

I've seen women walking to the Service Station for fags in their pyjama's, unfortunately it's the society we now live in

Agreed, deffo not setting a good example to your children or their schoolmates never mind the other parents. Shocking

It's their not "there".

Maybe you should keep your pyjamas on for detention!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I was a bit lost and so thought I'd ask the way. I went up to a house and a woman opened the door in her nightie. I thought it an odd place to have a door.

(it's the way Chic Murray told em that makes it amusing I guess )

 

[Slab]

Ban the Jams!

Quite right too, personal standards are just dropping all the time

Seriously, adults leaving the house in their PJ's! Maybe to take the bin to the garden gate but any further and you're appearance is slovenly

 

[freddielong]

And they wonder why the children grow up with no standards, these people shouldn't be allowed to have Children.

Really?

 

[freddielong]

Really?

Going to concerts and parents evenings in your pajamas, it's pathetic.

They could still be fantastic parents
