Imagine being the Holderness' family neighbours and seeing them periodically running round their garden throwing paper everywhere 😂😂

I want a form that says “is everything the same as last year?” Check yes or no. If no, please continue with form.

My husband who passed away March 5 of this year loved y'all. Every time I watch a new video I feel like he's here watching it with me again. Thank you for the video and the smile my friends.

It took a pandemic for our district to finally go to online forms - after I'd spent 13 years filling them out by hand! 😫 Great content, as always!

My kid is diabetic and nut allergies. After the 2nd year of having to fill out the forms by hand I scanned them and now just update them and change the dates then print! Done! This year new school so I just emailed them in.

I remember sending all those tons of forms home with students. It’s all complicated by the fact that the state, the district and the school each have their sets of forms that they require. This makes some of those forms redundant and ridiculous. Some of them were made even more ridiculous by the fact that my students had severe disabilities and really couldn’t read or agree to follow the Code of Conduct etc. The start of school is crazy.

Don’t worry parents, when your kids go off to college it’ll all fall onto them. FERPA and HIPAA ensue they have to take care of their own housing contract, immunization records, textbook forms, medical history, loan agreements, etc. Don’t get me wrong, they’ll be helping a lot. Someone will still be asking about “Great Aunt Edna’s” medical history. But your kid will have to receive and submit, and you don’t sign anywhere!

My kids love to hand them all to me three minutes before we need to head out of the house for school and work.

I loved all the glorious releases of papers while Kim and Penn were dancing, leaping, and spinning. So beautiful and fun! But my favorite part was Penn Charles dancing behind his dad -- what an amazing young man -- his energy, smooth moves, laugh, and sweet smile are so positive. Talent and fun sure run in the family! Thank you all so much for the light you shine! And best wishes to Lola, whatever she's doing.

It's no better for teachers because the office staff keeps telling us "Call the 10 families who haven't turned theirs in." "Jesus" mom forgot to sign the pink one." "Jill's dad did the blue form in #2 pencil instead of black ink."

It's all a conspiracy NY the alcohol industry to sell more booze.

Frustration: When you have to fill out the same school forms for each of your kids attending the same school. Why can't it just be, "Please refer to the forms I filled out for Child A."
One mom I knew had to fill out the same forms for four kids!

[dagny]

Thanks for making the realities of life so much more enjoyable.

By the time my kids were old enough to read them, I made THEM fill out the school forms. I worked all day, and why should they watch TV while I spent the evening filling out redundant forms. (I did look them over to check for accuracy.) They also filled out all those pesky permission forms for school/church trips. By the time they were old enough to apply for jobs or colleges, they were pros at filling out applications.

LOL, so glad that it isn't anywhere near that bad here - answered question from eldest's teacher regarding an e-book for one class and a question regarding after school care for the youngest and that was it!

0:59 Did he just rhyme work with work- i officially love this song

[FocusingOnChrist]

Ours are online but I had to do 14 forms x4 kids to return to the same school as last year. I wish I could just mark a little box that says, ‘nothing changed’ and be done.

[RockerH]

Another gem! But to all you bemoaning school paper work let me tell you it does have a daily purpose in running the school. And if you think filling out the papers is worrisome ...try reading, sorting, and filing a schools worth😊

[AquilaCat]

Okay, but that shot of the slowed and reversed spin with the paperwork going back into her hand was BEAUTIFULLY DONE

[kizbasolte]

Only in the US...in the Rest of the world children and parents survive school with hardly any paperwork.

[the_anonymous_muso]

Another instant classic. Every mum in the world knows about this stuff and seriously... why do they need the same info every year??
