Having a fresh hair style is important to both of men and women.Before making a hair style in salon maybe you can first buy a hair wig to wear and have a look if the hairstyle is fit for you or not.There are various types of hair wigs such as black male wigs which can be got from http://www.hairwigsall.com/categories/Men%27s-Wigs/ and other hair colors of hair wigs for people to choose.You can choose it according to your preference.
We celebrated WBD at our school and all the teachers dressed up too and acted out a chosen book in assembly. The children were very excited and learnt a great deal from the experience. We chose a story with lots of different characters so parents wouldn't find it difficult to find something suitable at the back of the wardrobe. Our WBD took lots of planning and hard work (and we were exhausted) so it's sad to read this thread and hear parents find it too much trouble when schools are working hard to promote literacy and a love of books. They are your kids after all.

I think a lot of parents on the thread do like the concept of World Book and Day and do their best to get behind it. It's just not all of us are that nimble with a thread and able to knock out a decent costume...and that makes us feel bad beside parents who manage to get their kids to school in super garb.


I don't think this thread is really anti-WBD - it's just letting off a bit of steam!

What your school did sounds wonderful, but I think you'll find that a lot of schools are not working hard to promote literacy and a love of books. A lot of schools are doing nothing at all except for telling the kids to dress up.


Your post is a bit insulting frankly, and I deleted my first response.

heh heh, I deleted my first response too.


Suggesting that if you don't buy into dressing up for World Book Day you mustn't care about literacy or instill a love of books in your children is a bit rich. And that's my 'mild' response. Your post would have been fine (in fact your school sounds like they did a great job with WBD) but your last sentence was pretty rude, to say the least.

Well good. My post was rather tongue in cheek but for teachers who work 7/11 for your children (and yes I arrive at work at 7 and still going at 10p.m sometimes only with a 10 minute break - in fact I've just finished my planning tonight, yes Saturday night at 11) it's demoralising that parents begrudge the time to cut out what could be perhaps just a paper mask for a once a year event and yet find the time to complain about it. So please have a heart and lay off the complaints about WBD.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
