Just thinking out loud here and would appreciate some other thoughts about the rights and wrong of this.
Ds's teacher (not main teacher but does PE and French and will be his main teacher from Sep) had a baby born very prematurely last week. The kids were told of this in Assembly and asked to pray for the family. They said prayers in each daily assembly following this.
Very sadly, the baby died yesterday
The kids were told again in school, and all parents sent a letter.
Ds is 9, and one of his best pals is dealing with loads at the moment as his Dad is severly brain damaged after a road accident a few months ago. His friend came out of school in tears after hearing the news about his teachers baby. His Mum ws in tears in the playground as she is dealing with so much at the moment and is ovbiously worried about her ds.
My heart goes out to the teacher and his wife, but is this the norm to advise the kids of the situation, who as far as I am aware had no idea his wife was having a baby.
Or is it totally unfeasable to keep this from the children?
Thanks.
