I've been following the Birthday Table threads with interest but thinking that my school would never do that until ...
the following appeared in today's school newsletter under the title 'Something you may not know':
"We have a Birthday table for KS2 children. If it is your child?s birthday, then they may go up to the school office before school and a table (with a tablecloth!!) will be reserved for your child and 3 special friends. (KS2 only, I?m afraid)"
I completely agree that the birthday table concept is an idea of fundamental stupidity and cruelty (all power to Boco, I've been reading her threads with my mouth open in disbelief). My question is whether I should say something to the school now (I'm very good friends with on of the governors so could do it informally or formally) or whether it would be better to wait and see if it becomes a problem.
I guess the differences from the goings on at Boco's DD's school are that the number of friends is limited to 3, and it doesn't appear that you have to pay for it. But should that make a difference?
Advice gratefully received.
