Am I U to feel this sensitive about ds' interactions?

[Freakbag]

Ds had a friendship day in class, they all made a friendship bracelet and gave it to a friend in their class.

Ds didn't get one, but he gave his to someone. He has a few friends in the small class of 12.

He said he felt sad, then I felt sad for him and feel really awful that he had to sit through all of gis classmates getting them and him not. I can just imagine how he felt.

I'm cross at the teacher for letting this happen.

Do I need a grip?

Wow. I was about to think 'here we go another thread about someones little snowflake being looked at the wrong way'

But no, this is really crap. Your poor DS. If all is as it's come across it's a really poorly thought out and executed idea and you should feed it back... I'd probably ask the teacher if she has any thoughts on how he could be better interacting and making friends, probably indicating that this incident really wont help him in trying. I'm actually quite annoyed for you. I was v shy at school and would have HATED this

I'm close to tears for your son so yadnbu.

Poor little lad must have been heartbroken.

I can just imagine him wondering and waiting for his friend.

It's a bit too much of a mistake on the teacher's part. She needs to make amends somehow.

I would go in yes, but talk to the teacher and find out what happened.

There could be plenty of scenarios where she had thought she'd got it sorted so that every child would get one and somehow it got messed up-from the child who was meant to give it to your ds decided to keep theirs for themselves through to he went to the toilet, and she popped it into his drawer while he went.

AWW this is a shame for your little one. its worse than when you are last to get picked for a game at school :(

This would have upset me too - ds (now 12) was also sensitive st that age and would have taken it badly.

It was poorly thought through by the teacher so do feedback to her constructively ....

I would get back to the teacher tomorrow if you can rather than wait until parents evening otherwise you'll miss out on the things that you need to hear then and the teacher will have moved on from the activity - the feedback needs to be while the activity is still fresh - so either ringing up or emailing tonight, sending a note in tomorrow or catching the teacher tomorrow.

Really badly thought through given that there are such a small number of students in the class and no controls on ensuring everybody got one each.

Oh your poor DS. I would definitely be upset if I didn't get a bracelet too.

I think it's a good idea to have a quick word with the teacher - I'm sure they'll be very understanding.

There is something deeply wrong with a teacher who would do this. They have either had a complete empathy bypass or enjoy making certain kids feel bad about themselves.

Either way they're not fit to be around children.

I think that's going a bit far. I'm pretty much certain it was a well-meant but just badly thought out activity.

Your poor little boy the teacher should have made sure they all got a bracelet. You really should say something to the school

All teacher had to do was split class and they could have made a bracelet for child next to them so they were all friends.
