School shoes

I am surprised a teenager wants to have fun with grannies.
His own granny must be so proud.

We are going to have this back again this summer. Year 6 have obviously finished their SATs.

Haven't we been here before????

My grandson 11 wears similar style plimsolls to those but think he wears primark ones not certain though could be the sane ones

We may have long memories, but some people don't profit from their memories and leave well alone.

This is a bit like theft in a multi storey car park ......... wrong on so many levels!

When I (and DC were at school) wearing plimsolls, other than in games lessons, was a sign of poverty. I wonder if this attitude to canvas shoes still hangs around some grandparents, which is why they are not comfortable seeing DGC in this type of shoe.

Gran 11. try and learn to punctuate.

Gran11, will you tell me how to get a picture up on here. No one else will.

Or could be using the binary system.

Good thinking Sherlock.

or else couldnt get passed the first number button

The poster could be gran to 11 children.

Absolutely Anya. Not the feeble, short-memoried idiots this 11 year old thinks we are. (Note gran11 - your username is a bit of a giveaway).

Do we say 'welcome back' perhaps Ashtree?

Yes, we have long memories

What

I think it's time to give up now. Seriously. You have been rumbled. Deal with it.

I have said to her this morning the plimsolls are good idea 2 grandsons want them and they are cheap
I was just wondering if people seen them as acceptable in other areas because they are in most schools in my area

I think that this child is 11 - hence year 7, going to year 8, and Gran11.

You are probably quite bright, having fun, but dont have that many friends.
School is finished soon. I think that you need to get into clubs that spark your interest. Where you hopefully will be able to make some friends. It is better than spending too much time indoors on a computer.

What the heck is this thread all about? I really don't get the OP. "Should I tell my daughter to get new leather shoes...?" For heaven's sake, why would you feel the need to come on GN asking a question like that? How do you manage to get through your day if you are unable to make simple decisions without going on a forum?
It is obviously a wind-up or, as someone suggested upthread, a bored teenager thinking grans are a bunch of mindless dribbling twits. I hope that by now they've been totally disabused of this idea

Ah bless

I think blazers are to formal for school glad my gran kids school dosent have them also they are far to expensive

Do you want to say what else you dont like about your school?

I always thought it was the horrid stuff they made the sole from which caused the smelly feet etc. A primary school I worked at had a rule that the children all wore plimsolls once inside the school - nightmare every playtime changing into shoes and tying laces etc. Inside PE was always barefoot and generally speaking there was an all pervading smell of feet and rubbery soles in the classroom when they all removed the things! The next headmistress got rid of that idea thank goodness.

Really? Well that is good I suppose. It helps you to like a school better if the uniform is more to your liking.
