To ask class teacher who went in my childs bag?

[SamAntHaHa]

Something has been taken from my childs bag. It is not valuable and I won't get it back because it's a single use item for personal use.
I don't mind it being used by others but it's unsettling for things to be taken and not be informed by staff or my childs friends if one of them decided they wanted to take it. It feels like something being stolen from their bag since someone went in there without permission and took what they wanted when the bag was in the classroom with everyone elses bags.
AIBU to ask staff who went in my childs bag?
And then to ask the person apologise for taking it from my childs bag without mentioning it since it is stealing?

@AudacityOfHope. 🤣🤣

Things go missing from bags all the time. Better now that bags are left in the classroom, where they are supposedly seen, but still happens.
If children are old enough they also 'lend' each other stuff as well.
So, make sure nothing of any value is in the bag, such as a special toy - yes it happened - the toy was very small. My son dropped it in the playground, and another child spotted it, and said it was his, even though he did not actually know what it was!
If an older child and sanpro, I would let it go

I'm guessing English isn't the ops first language.

Op what is the thing, is it sanitary protection? If it's something like this I don't know how you could be reacting like this.

Everything missing in schools has always been stolen, don'tya know... Those parents would never countenance something as dull and easily explicable as a child, you know, LOSING something especially jumpers with no names in

What kind of bag?
One of those generic school name book bags? unique backpack? How are staff supposed to watch bags all the time?
If it was single use item maybe whomever took it really needed it. Why does it bother you?

This is the most bizarre thread I have ever read!

If you are this vague with the school I imagine they will be very

You sound odd op I'm going to side with YABU

Come on OP, you’ve had a bit of a pasting, but no one can possibly know what is an appropriate response unless you’re less coy about it.

At least five people have said stuff has gone missing from a school bag; you’re not going to be outed.

I'm a bit worried that the OP might be Carrie's mum, and that there might be a Halloween disco looming..........

I sincerely hope it’s not a tampon. Knowing how many are in her bag, performing regular stock takes and replacing them on a 1 for 1 basis is beyond weird.

It’s going to be a tissue isn’t it?

I can’t think of anything ‘single use / disposable’ that I would be that upset about someone needing - plaster / wipe / sanpro / tissue? Also super weird that you count whatever it is and make your kid tell you how many they’ve used...

@Rystall agreed

It's clearly Very Outing.
Can't be cycling though.

Tribbles

🙄

I’ve discounted sanpro on age.

I’m going with a snack, like a cereal bar. Not intended to eat every day - just a back up for hungry days.

I wouldn’t call food single use though. You don’t really say you ‘use’ food.

So I’m not confident. Come on OP!

Rystall - quite. If it IS sanpro I am beyond weirded out. I’ve raised two girls through teens and can honestly say the only stockcheck I’ve ever completed is a glance in the bathroom cabinet to see if I need to add to the grocery shop. The idea of checking a school bag in order to verify stock levels and the necessity to account for stock usage/ disappearance is... alarming. And I am a stock controller. C class stores btw - (consumable) - we don’t even count them really.

Totally trivial.

Well this is strange.

Honestly OP, stop being such a tease and tell us what it is!!

YAB totally U for such a vague post and refusing to provide vital info - type of item, child's age etc - as others have pointed out repeatedly, of course the context will totally affect the response one would expect from the school (and indeed from you!!!). The historic bullying story is totally irrelevant at this stage but might explain why you're so paranoid?!

Honestly, without context, this is an utterly pointless and infuriating thread. Move on, nothing to see here!!

@Ornery 🤣

U ok hun?

It's clearly Very Outing.
Can't be cycling though.

Why not? I reckon it's cycle clips.

YABU for being so weird and using the term "where her legs meet."

You may or may not be unreasonable about the item being used, depending on what it was, your child's age, and what she says about it.
