Have the school done the right thing even though it punishes the wrong set of people ?

DC is in year 6 and as I am sure everyone with a child in the same year is aware the leavers celebrations are in full swing.
The leavers hoodies were organised by the class parent rep.
The hoodies were handed out a while ago and the children have been proudly wearing them 2 days a week in school and were due to wear them for their residential.
unfortunately the Rep has purposely left 1 child without a hoody and also did not include their name on everyone else’s hoody.
I am not sure why it has only been bought to the attention of the school now, but they sent an email basically saying due to one child’s name not being on the hoody they are now banned from being worn on the school premises. Some very angry parents who think the school are punishing the children for something not in their control.
I am not sure what else the school could of done ? I believe they made the right decision but I seem to be the minority!

Do you mean that a parent, an actual adult, has left a child out on purpose?

Yes. I don’t know the complete reason as to why only snippets but yes.

I agree with you. However, why did this stupid fuckwit of a ‘class rep’ purposely leave this child out?

Oof that Rep is a dick. School have totally done the right thing and I suspect next year will either not allow hoodies or do it themselves adding to their workload

Why did the rep purposely leave a child out? Instead of parents moaning at the school moan at the rep who seems childish and spiteful.

That’s horrific of the parent. What a nasty twat

Yep! Right thing

I think the bigger issue is the parent rep. leaving a child out on purpose. I don't see what else the school could have done in the circumstances.

That’s so so wrong

Make the class rep carefully write that child's name on each and every hoody.

or pay personally for the reprinting

I agree with the school. That is awful of the rep- why did they do it?

That's disgusting. Shame on that adult. Were they not approved by the class teacher or the head before they went to print? I always get two others to look at my hoodie orders before I submit them.

The school were really between rock and a hard place there, I think they made the right call tbh, but would allow the kids to wear what they wanted on those days instead of the hoodies.

The class rep is an absolute arsehole.

The adult responsible needs to pay for a complete reprint of all hoody’s

School have done the right thing.

like others I suspect next year either no hoodies or school will do.

that’s absolutely brutal. Poor kid.

School have totally done the right thing. It might be shit for the kids to not be able to wear their hoodies, but no way can the school allow the bullying by the parent to be advertised in front of the child daily.

I imagine that will be the end of the leavers hoodies in that school. I worked in several schools that ended up banning them and without fail it was down to a parent (or two).

The class rep should pay for a new set of hoodies.

This !!

I think the school did the right thing. And the only thing they could have done.

It’s stuff like this that puts a stop to nice things happening. No doubt there will be no hoodies next year.

School’s not punishing anybody, it’s the nasty fucker parent that’s at fault

It’s absolutely ridiculous. The class rep is a bully. Not a good example set to their children

Unbelievable. What a terrible thing to do.

The school have absolutely done the right thing and any parent who is angry at that is as bad as the bullying rep who purposely left out a child.

I'm with the school on this. Class rep has been absolute ass. Iv been in charge of a few leavers hoodies and have the class teachers to check and the school secretary so this doesn't happen

Parents should direct their anger to class rep
