AIBU to think schools shouldn’t be giving out Easter Eggs?

[TulipsTulipsTulips]

My DD4 will be showered with chocolate I'm the upcoming week. It’s part of the fun of Easter. But her teachers have already given her, and all the nursery class, a medium sized chocolate egg each and chocolates were being handed around today. AIBU to think giving out chocolates is for parents to monitor and decide, and the school should focus on other healthier Easter activities? Why are schools spending money on unhealthy treats that have no educational purpose?

God forbid they do something nice and make children happy

YABU

YANBU.

AYBU? YES!

YABU. My dc recieved a small hollow egg from their teacher. They were thrilled!! Much more so than with any of the over the top eggs from family.

Schools aren't - the teachers are. Or possibly the PTA.

Quite the fun sponge, aren't you?

FFS! 🙄😏

That's like the 'Bah Humbug ' equivalent of Easter isn't it?

Some children won't be 'showered with chocolate'and the Easter Egg from school may be the only one they get in fact. Seems like a nice, and completely normal thing for a school to do.

Actually YANBU.

Dd1 one got royally told off in reception because dh put a tiny chocolate Santa in her lunch. Same week, they all got a selection box!

Ffs

😣

Lighten up, it’s a bit of chocolate. God forbid the school or teachers try to do something nice.

Not all children are showered with chocolate at Easter.

The parent can control it by saying lovely, let's put it up until Easter.
But I can't imagine being that much of a joy sucker

If it's that big a deal tell your family not to bother. Killjoy

Seriously? You’d begrudge children a simple small kind gesture that would make them happy? Wow

The teacher probably paid for that stuff her/himself in order to be nice. I doubt any school’s budget runs to Easter eggs. We’re not allowed to print in colour in my school, and we have to fundraise for sports uniforms, so...

Some people can suck the joy out of anything.

The school won't have paid for them! It will be the teachers.

I honestly don't think we can win these days. I bet there is another thread on here complaining that their kid wasn't given any chocolate 🤦‍♀️

At our primary school, it's only given out at home time so it's still in the control of the parents. Our secondary give eggs as prizes....Sometimes I only see the wrapper as its been shared with friends...lol.

I'm not strict with chocolate though so I don't mind. Does your child's school let them eat it at school?

My DD4 will be showered with chocolate I'm the upcoming week.

Some children in their class, maybe from poorer backgrounds, different religions or with no extended family, won't be. But fuck 'em. Your kids get plenty from elsewhere so teacher shouldn't be giving them any more.

YABU. Bet you’re a laugh at parties.

But you can monitor and decide how quickly you child gets through the chocolate. When I was little the chocolate supply just went on for ages rather than eating it all at once.

Yes it may be over the top for children who will receive a lot of easter eggs but for the children for whom it will be the only easter egg I expect it means a lot.

way to suck the fun out of things!!!!!!!!!!!
