DS (year 4) has been going to badminton club after school once a week since Easter. There's a local school tournament coming up and DS was really hoping to be chosen to go. He isn't really into sport but has really enjoyed doing this and has become quite good at it (not fantastic but good!). The ones who started at Easter were told that it would only be children who go to the club who would be chosen to represent the school in the tournament.
However, when I went to pick him up yesterday there appeared to be the usual 'sporting heroes' at the club. The ones who play football, rugby and tennis for the school and are always chosen for the swimming gala etc. It appears that the teacher has brought these children in so that they can go to the tournament instead of the ones who have been going since Easter.
WIBU to mention this to school? I know the school love to be seen to be winning any sporting matches they attend, which is to be expected, but feel it's a bit unfair for them to invite children in to represent the school when they haven't attended the club?
DS isn't upset as such but is a bit knocked down by it.
