Mother's Day - should school do more?

[inquisitiveinga]

Disclaimer: I am absolutely not going to complain regarding this matter, I understand that teachers may have completely valid reasons for the below. My child's teacher is also FANTASTIC, she doesn't have children, and I can't help but think that due to this she perhaps doesn't understand the value of a handmade card?

My child has come home from school today and it's very clear that nothing has been prepared for Mother's Day, at least where their class is concerned. Usually a "beautiful" card comes home and it really makes my day.

Personally, I'm not bothered. I'm fortunate enough to have a husband who will not doubt ensure I have something from my 7 year old, and 1 year old (although I'm not really sure anything from her is warranted!). However, I can't help but think about single mothers in the class who may not receive anything (and who absolutely should).

AIBU to even be having this thought process?

Has anyone seen the thread today : gutted her DH didn’t mention her first MD on his socials. This is exactly what I fear MD has been reduced to .

I said as much a few pages back - it suddenly dawned on me that this was all about looking good on SM.

Agreed. Why else would you be checking on Friday - unless wanting to know what you had to “work with” when curating. Surely otherwise you’d just let them surprise you?

Hi OP,

My DC is Y2. She came home with a handmade card for me and also one for her granny. We made a video for her godmother.

It was all gorgeous and I loved it.

I did wonder how the teachers currently navigate situations like outlined above.
