Last week I enrolled two kids in school camp -- four pages total of registration forms required me to write my name and my husband's four times on four sheets, our address four times, and the six phone numbers we have between us (never mind that our home number is obviously the same for spouses, I had to write it separately for each spouse four times) four times. Then i had to write it all two more times to indicate that parents are on the list of people who are acceptable persons to pick the children up from camp. The camp is run by the school they attend, which had this information from 1) the current school year entrollment form; 2) the school nurse's forms, 3) every field trip permission slip for the past two years, 4) the re-enrollment form for the fall term. I'm sure they did not lose it, too, because it was front and center on the tuition bill. Just venting. Glad to see someone sees this the same way I do. I feel your pain.
