The amount of paperwork sent home for the parents to fill out is just overwhelming ... especially when you have multiple kids in school. I felt like I filled out my address and phone numbers a dozen times last night. The office needs the info, the class needs the info, and the bus driver even keeps the info on file.
Oh and did anyone else get last minute "I need fill-in-the-blank for so-and-so's class". Why send a list home and then wait until school starts to get more specific? One of Haley's teachers who only had "binder & dividers" on her list sent home a two page print out on exactly what your binder needs and instructions for filling out 7 dividers. 7? Why can't the teachers understand that dividers come in packs of 5 and maybe adjust their idea of the perfect binder just slightly to help save us some money? I mean is it really necessary to keep a separate tab for "first day handouts"? Her class only had 5 of them and that was the most she brought home from any class ... can't they go in the front pocket or something?
