1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: Back to school. Back to school. Actually, you don't have

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: any school children anymore. This is it, man, No more

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: school fees.

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: That's it.

6
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: Normal school uniforms, uniforms. And because my kids are spaced

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: out in age, I've been dealing with kids going to

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: school for more than half my life. Wow, well I've

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: still Liam's no longer at school. Jack's going to year twelve.

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: He goes back to school tomorrow, but he had to

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: go in today for some kind of orientation something or other.

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: That's a goof of day. I've ever ever heard that.

13
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: Well, I trus Jack will be orientating himself around the beach.

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: I would imagine. We'll see, but it is. It can

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: be an expensive time of year for parents. This is

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: what list all the station well, the stationary lists come

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: out and parents are saying that the schools are getting

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: more and more specific of the type of brands that

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: they want the kids to buy. Some schools have specified,

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: for example, and you put Public School in the Northern

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: Beaches is asking parents to buy ten graphite HB pencils,

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: two packets of twelve color pencils in the preferred brands

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 2: Stalor or Faber castel. Other parents are being taler, pencils

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: are great, we love those well. Other parents are being

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: asked to buy particular things that office works itself for

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: twenty nine dollars. Kids being asked to buy mouse mouses.

27
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: We don't say mouses if they're not mice. Is it

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: for computer mices? Mouse pads, whiteboard markers, all called essential?

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: But this would really divide some families. Some families can't

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: afford these labeled brands. Yeah, but you're going into office works.

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: They give you a list.

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: The schools are giving lists. Yeah, but you get they

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: give you the list, You just get an office. Some

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: of these are more expensive. Are you saying ignore the brands?

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: A school is saying, yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't worry

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: about the brand same.

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: It's more of a convenience thing.

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: But are you saying they're in cahoots?

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no. My point is that some schools

40
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: are specifying expensive brands of things right, and some families

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: are going, I don't want my child to be out

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: of step with everyone, but this is expensive. Why can't

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 2: I buy the cheaper brands? The black and gold pencils. Yes,

44
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: parents are being asked to buy increasingly expensive items. Schools

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: are putting up lists that specify, for example, graphite HB

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: pencils or colored pencils in preferred brands, certain art portfolio

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: a three folders that are available at office works for

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: twenty nine dollars, whiteboard markers, specific things that are pricey

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: or pricier than other options. So you can get Downder,

50
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: Johnny Cheapo's and get all the stuff for half the price.

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: That's right, But will your child feel ostracized if they

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: don't have the things that the school is specifically asking for.

53
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: It's tough for parents. So brand specific school lists as

54
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 2: past the pub.

55
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: Test, absolutely not. It's particulous what they are friends specific

56
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: kids even got down to the point where large gears.

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: I bought a firmous good off from my child and

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: they got told they weren't allowed to have it because

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: it's not feel proof too much. People are on a budget.

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: They've got to get their own supply that they have

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: to go to the big places and buy things when

62
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: there are limited budgets. I've spent money on the uniforms

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: and lunch boxes and stuff. Why would they go and

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: do the big brand name when they can get it

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: cheaper other places. Yes, they said, I'm at school, teacher,

66
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: and the other glue and pencils that you can keep

67
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: sharpening and sharpening, And they did kick off cheaper brands

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: and cheaper brand that's true. That's probably what I failed

69
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: at school so.

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: Poorly because you didn't have a good pencil.

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: I didn't have a good pencil. That must have been

72
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: glue didn't stick. I did.

73
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: Your breath was delight.

74
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Have you eaten that glue again?

75
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: I didn't stick your gums together, unfortunately.

76
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's Gamnation
