World Book Day: It's About Encouraging Reading, Not Costume Competitions!

[thankgodproductions]

@newchristianglenn you are spot on The UK is now full of people that don't celebrate others wins and can't be happy for others. People aren't allowed to do something/have something if they can't. It's a joke x

My daughter went as Elsa from frozen, a costume from 2 years ago that a grandparent had bought her , it still fit! She was happy going off to nursery as a princess!

My son's school was fab on world book Day! They were allowed to dress up, they could wear whatever they wanted.
So we ransacked the dressing up box, one went as a fox and the other as the red power ranger

If you don't want to do it don't, just move on with your life , don't try and put a downer on those that do

As a parent my child left school before they even thought of world book day and as a teacher I preferred my children to HAVE and READ books rather than parents playing the "I am a better parent than you game".

We missed it this year because our son was too poorly to go to school again. He has long covid

My little one's school said, they'd considered the cost of living crisis and turned it into pyjamas day. With children bringing in their favourite bedtime atory book and books they no longer read for a book exchange.

My kids school is brilliant, they said the kids can dress up or just come in pjs. Which my two did. I don't have the energy to make costumes or the money to buy them. But seeing everyone's unique designs made me happy

It’s Definitely about the parents showing the costume they madeGood luck to them I am too tired and busy to show off.

I sometimes go all out and spend days sewing bits on, other times I buy one. The costume that got him in the newsletter was when I dressed him in cheap orange clothes from Amazon and put a squid hat on him haha. It’s ok to do any, either or none. But I do feel bad for the parents who really can’t afford it, because those kids will feel left out.

Thank you for recognising that not very one is arty lol, I’m so glad that when my kids where at school, over 20 years ago, that we didn’t have all this extra pressure on us hard working parents. Who don’t have the money, time or skill
