Have the school done the right thing even though it punishes the wrong set of people ?

I wonder if the cheapest route would be to ask the original printer to add it onto all the hoodies; collect them all in with labels, send off, get it added and redistribute.

The school has no choice. They can't control what happens out of school but in school they can't condone the bullying.

(Personally, I'd now get all the kids to bring in a plain tshirt and have a tshirt designing session so they have something different to wear)

They again wont bother its the end of year six. Most will just nod and smile at best while thinking it’s a bit shit.

Locally there is four different secondary schools without any going off to Sen specialist schools or the selective or private.

I think everyone who bought the hoodies should demand their money back from the rep. I wouldn't want to be complicit in her nasty bullying of a child.

That's awful. What a mean lady. Of course people ordering more expensive things should pay more. To exclude a child like this. I hope every child and parent know who is to blame.

It happens. Shouldn't happen though. And I would be disappointed and distance myself from those who did not identify the true culprit.

I mean that feels like a huge piece of the pie rather than the VAT thing.

VAT was an easy was to pull the plug. Whatever those arguments where are the real reason the rep did it.

Well someone needs to order new hoodies with everyone's name on. I think the class rep should pay for them, but I would expect her not to. Eeeeeeeesh though, is it £2160 for that mistake,?

The School have no choice.
They can’t just tut tut in the Staff room but do nothing that would be enable bullying and discrimination against a Child (especially from another Parent which is what she’s doing). The School has a duty of care to their Pupils. Granted and I’ve no argument with the fact that it’s not the fault of the other kids, but, How would you feel if it were your little one left out more to the point how would that nasty fuckin clique bullying cunt feel if it were hers left out. I bet she was a bully in school, too.
There’s also no excuse whatsoever for this, if she has beef with the Child’s Mother or the Child itself she should have handed over the reins and said You’ll have to find someone else to organize this as I cannot or will not be able or rather willing to provide for every child.
This has made me so angry and enraged I hate kids being singled out!

Happens all the time though doesn’t it. The parents of that child will be the problem because there are not liked enough and have now caused issue.

Even tho the rep caused it.

Can they not just get one hoodie for the child who has been left out with their name added to it? Which the class rep should pay for?

Taking the child’s name off the hoodies as if they never existed is appalling. Can’t believe the class rep did this. School have absolutely made correct decision in not allowing the hoodies to be worn and the bully of a class rep is to blame. Hope she’s not trying to put the blame on the poor child’s mother.

How would you feel if that 1 child was yours?

It looks like bullying, because it is bullying.

This is why I went with a company where we the school designed the hoodie and supplied the kids names then parents ordered direct from company website and paid for it. Much less hassle and stress

This is why the schools should organise it. Nobody can be left off due to bad blood or anything.

So the rep decided the VAT should be split. Parent said nah, rep went refund. Delete order and name.

not a good look but still I think more parents will be mad about the lack of now wearing the hoodies than lack of one name. The missing names doesn’t affect them personally the punishment does though and it sounds like the parents of this child are already not openly welcomed sadly.

Sounds like the class rep handled it really poorly from the offset. Did noone check/ challenger the rep at the time?

that's so extreme!

What was the backstory?

And WHY was only ONE PERSON in charge of all the hoodies? That's an awful job, there should at least be 2 or 3 parents, it's ridiculous

Which is a real indictment of those parents, and the wider society we live in.

The blame lays squarely with the class rep. And if other adults cannot see that, it is very concerning. Though also a good indication of who has morally poor character in general.

I think it would be awful for that child to see everyone in their hoodies every day knowing they've been made into a pariah.

I don't see what else the school could have done.
