My 11 year old son is in his last year at junior school. It's a small independent school and we've always been pretty happy with it.
The prefects for their final year have been announced and he's not been chosen which would be fine except for the fact they've only left out 6 or 7 kids out of the original 30 that came up from year 6 last year.
I didn't saw anything to him about it but he's come home really upset because he's the only one of his friends not chosen and they've put a big photo of the prefects up on the school wall.
He's a really good boy, always polite and never in trouble. He's quiet, more of a team player than a leader. He is dyslexic and a bit of a dreamer but is popular and a kind, brave and loyal friend. He gets stuck in at sport, always volunteers for drama and loves music. He didn't get into choir first time but chose to reaudition the following year and got chosen.
I feel that all of these qualities have been overlooked and it makes me feel sad and cross on his behalf and that's ignoring the fact that I think they were wrong to leave such a small minority out.
So am I being unreasonable?
