Parents asked not to wear pyjamas when taking children to school

Schools in east Middlesbrough have asked parents to stop wearing pyjamas on the school run.

Headteachers across 11 schools have requested that mums and dads show decency and respect when attending school premises.



Parents are turning up to schools at the morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up as well as attending meetings with teachers in their pyjamas.

The schools sent letters home to parents asking for their wishes to be respected. Since the letters have been issued many schools have noticed a sharp decline in the number of parents wearing pyjamas in the playground.

Some Tescos have already banned pyjamas in their stores. I can thoroughly understand parents taking their kids to school in their jammies. Showing up for a teacher/parent conference is out of line, though.

I think it might be a sign of exhaustion and depression. Many parents struggle balancing excessive working hours and zero hour contracts.
