Celebrating a teacher's birthday...

[Itsjustafleshwound]

So the class rep and a few mums stayed behind after a school event and went in to the classroom to surprise the class teacher with a cake and some cards that the children had made/signed for her birthday. (Infant school)

News through the school grapevine is that the parents are in the bad books for staying behind and making a fuss of a good teacher on her birthday ..

Really unreasonable??

Whose bad books?
It's happened a few times at my school in one form or another with small acts of appreciation. Not enough to be considered major bribes.

Class of children spending an entire day making a fuss of teacher = U

Couple of Mum's organising a group event = NU

Are the grumpy sods ones upset because they didn't get an invite?

We broke protocol . The strange thing is that every Friday they have an assembly with a part where pupils who have had birthdays that week go up in front of the school for a sticker and song??

Perhaps she was on a promise and just wanted to get off home to her RL?
