DD (8) started crying on the way home today - she said she'd been in trouble at school (which is unheard of for her).
After some coaxing the story came out that DD had taken a handmade bracelet to school, so she could show it to a friend. It had come slightly unravelled at one end and so while the teacher was calling the register before lessons started, DD was replaiting it. The teacher took it off her and threw it in the bin.
Now, before anyone shoots me down for undermining the teacher, all I have said to DD on the subject is that it shouldn't have been at school and it definitely shouldn't have been on her desk.
I can't help feel a bit annoyed though tbh. I agree it should not have been out during school time, and I agree that the teacher was right to take it away from her and not return it during school time. In fact, I'd fully support the teacher if she decided to only return confiscated items at the end of the week or even term.
But to permanently dispose of children's belongings seems unfair and not really acceptable. What does anyone else think?
