Pyjama Drop-Offs, School Rules & Parenting

Loading player...
A Cape Town school has sparked a national debate after asking parents not to wear pyjamas at school drop-off.

So where do you stand? Should schools have a say in what parents wear, or is getting the kids to school on time all that really matters?

Tee Xaba chatted with content creator Refilwe Chirwa, whose viral TikTok story about doing the school run in her pyjamas took an unexpected turn when her car broke down and had to be towed away.

Refilwe shares what happened that morning and her thoughts on the growing debate around pyjamas at drop-off.

Plus, KZN parents share their own hilarious, chaotic and relatable school-run confessions.
