Hi first time poster please be gentle ! AIBU to keep DD (8) home on sports day Monday ? She's part of the schools running club and injured her ankle recently. This year the school has decided all the children in each class should run a race (girls first, boys second) and the top 7 children from each race are to take part in sports day. All the children are expected to travel to a different school for this event and the children that weren't in the top 7 are supposed to sit and cheer their classmates on all day. I would be a bit put out even if she had been in the top 7 to have to travel to a different school, however I can see zero educational value in having my child sat outside all day cheering on 14 people from a class of 32. Some of the other mums feel the same. AIBU to want to keep her home ?
