They can be a blessing and a curse .I Recently moved my daughter to a new school ,old school had a whatsapp that was going 24/7 ,often with just random shit or about someone’s new ‘business venture ‘ ,can we support billy on his sponsored bike ride etc but sometimes they are useful as garunteed someone will speak up before I have to and ask if it’s none school uniform next Friday or not .One thing they are useful for - when your little treasures come home wearing someone else’s jumper / missing a correct shoe
Now we’re at the new school and I’m Billy no mates ,haven’t got a scooby who anyone is or wether a WhatsApp even exists.I have to check every Weduc update going and sift through the 99 notifications per week just to check when the end of term is .
