What would you think of this?

[Rainagaintoday]

So, after halfterm, new child in the class, moved from another class.(Don't know why, but must be a reason.)
Class room has only 30 seats around the tables. Your child has been bumped out of original seat and made to sit on her/his own in the corner. The child feels sad.
AIBU to feel upset?

Ah ok. Surely they could have squeezed two chairs to the counter so they weren't singling any child out

In your shoes I would be making it clear that my child was not to be singled out to sit alone once absent child returns. The is will hopefully focus her mind on sorting the issue out before he/she returns instead of waiting until you bring it up again.

I think I might leave it, and end of the week, I might mention it to her on pick up, so she will remember that there might not be empty seat, unless some child is sick next week?

So, Mnetters, do you think it's ok to remind her again on Friday ?

In my head, I am fuming with anger. I'm just trying to keep calm for sake of my child.

yes it is ok to mention it.
If your dc is back on their own on monday, ask to speak to her on tuesday. Not a quick word at the door, but in classroom.

Simple outline your objection. Your dc feels singled out and ostracized. Dc is unhappy sitting on their own. You are unhappy that your child is being excluded in this way, and doesn't have a proper seat at a table, but at a counter.
If there is a seating issue, then creative solutions need to be found, eg 2 kids at the counter, rotated each week, or change the way the tables are grouped so an extra chair can be slotted in.

If she is unmovable, I would ask to see the head and simply repeat.

Your poor Ds :(

OP... why are sitting on the fence, you have told us you are "fuming with anger" then on the other hand "you think you will leave it".

This flip flopping is not helping, if you are not happy for your child to be singled out then only you can do something about that. The CT has put in place a solution to her seating issue, so she is happy with it, why would she then do anything? The onus is on you to tell her again that you will not have your dc being singled out.

I'm sorry Rain but I would be LIVID with this. I would be asking 'why my child specifically, is there a problem that I should be aware of, why out of a class of 31 should my child be the one to be made to sit on his own?!!!'. I would hope that if there was any sort of problem, that you would already be aware of it. But this is ridiculous and cruel.

It may be that I am very over-sensitive with things like this because my DD 'looks' a bit different so I'm always very conscious of her being forced to stand out more in any way, but things like this really really upset me. As an example, when they do the harvest festival in the church, to enable all the children to be seen by the parents, they go into the church in height order. DD is in Yr 2 but is the smallest in the school, so she always comes in last and is separated from the rest of her class. It irritates the hell out of me but because she isn't bothered, I haven't made a fuss. Inside I seethe though...

You've tried the calm approach OP, I would be getting angry if it's not sorted soon...
