Hi everyone, just looking for some advice. My daughter is in year 1 and is 5 years old. She loves christmas and so wanted to write cards for all her class. I was fine with this and we always do cards for all the class as we would hate anyone to feel left out.
It took around 2 1/2 hours for her to write them all with me helping her here and there. She took them in and everyone accepted them kindly apart from two girls who told her she hadnt written enough in the cards...she had only written 4 words...she should have written x amount (apparently!).
My daughter ended up apologising to the two girls, though I would say she wasnt very upset (she thought about it enough to tell me though)
Do you think I would be within my rights to tell the teacher what they said..or even have a word with their mums...if you dont think its the teachers job to deal with it?
My daughter is the first in the class to give out cards. Last year she gave everyone a card and got about 6 back...thats no problem as she enjoys giving them out...but I didnt expect that she would have to apologise while giving them out!
The girls are pretty nice but I think they are starting to get a little big for their boots as they are two of the oldest and arguably the cleverest in the class and I think it might be good for them just to realise that they need to be a little kinder.
I would probably just say to the teacher that my daughter worked quite hard on the cards and some of the girls gave her a hard time and she ended up apologising to them, which I dont think is fair.
Will the teacher think Im mental or fair?😂
