If she has to invite all the kids from her class to her party, then it's not a party at all.
It's then a ing weekend field trip to your house with cake.
Then proceed to invite only the kids your child wants there.
You'll be doing good for society.
For example: You invite the weird kid who eats his boogers. He'll think he got invited because eating boogers is cool. You don't invite him and he'll wonder if its because he's a gross who eats boogers.
thus the thread with getting some thoughts on how to handle this.
your idea of "putting my pussy in the fridge and handling like a man" has been duly noted.
No . The kids that are alienated are the ones that alienated themselves. This isn't an issue of being mean to little kids.
I will outside of class.
sending just a few invitations to school with my daughter does not do her, me or society any good.You'll be doing good for society.
Don't worry, you weren't invited for other reasons than eating your boogers.For example: You invite the weird kid who eats his boogers. He'll think he got invited because eating boogers is cool. You don't invite him and he'll wonder if its because he's a gross who eats boogers.
Did I hit a nerve or something? You asked for advice and were given some. I hope one of the kids you choose to invite outside of class has swine flu. That'll teach ya!
why is it that people think a little junk talk means they hit a nerve?Did I hit a nerve or something? You asked for advice and were given some. I hope one of the kids you choose to invite outside of class has swine flu. That'll teach ya!
what exactly will inviting a kid with swine flu teach me?
if the kid shows up, then it will teach me the parent bringing the kid is an idiot.
Because it seems something i said upset you if you had to start with the junk talk.why is it that people think a little junk talk means they hit a nerve?

Oh well, nevermind.
naw, I just tend to act like an ass when see a lame post.
A stupid in booger joke and it twists your panties? Wow. I'm guess you were eating the kid with the taste for booger, glue or maybe you were the weird kid who'd smell like all the time?
From birthdays to boogers. My, how fast a thread can change.
naw, I just tend to act like an ass when see a lame post and talk junk. Nothing personal.
Of course, judging by your butt hurt reaction, I very clearly hit a nerve.
I don't think the rule is that you have to invite everyone...only that if you hand out the invites at school during classroom hours you have to give one to everyone.
Completely understandable...I mean, God forbid that school and it's teachers make and enforce rules that prevent kids from being isolated and embarassed at school, during class.
I'm thinking you're right.
Irrelevant who alienated the kid...neither the school nor the teacher should allow the other kids to contribute to those feelings.
The school does not say you have to invite everyone- only that IF you hand out invitations at school, they should be for everyone. Not that difficult of a concept. Guess this is why moms usually handle these things...
If she is only in Kindergarten, I would say, just call the parents and invite like that.
I'm with everyone else, the school in trying to tell you who you can and can't invite.
Just curious, is this a public school or private school?
Do people even read...
I'll be throwing my seventh birthday party in which I've invited children from my children's school, so far I've never had more than five kids show up, so I say just invite everyone.
If you have it at CEC we're talking about around ten bucks a kid, so what's the difference between the three kids she wants to invite, and the six kids that will actually come, thirty bucks?
I also don't agree that the policy sucks, how would you feel if your daughter came home upset because most of the other girls or kids were invited to a party and she was not? Kids feeling can be fragile, especially elementary school kids.
I'm glad you aren't my dad. What you're saying is that you want to encourage your daughter to break a rule you know exists and then be upset if she gets in trouble for it?
I guess since she's so young her teacher should spare her feelings, but the kids you don't want to invite because you're too cheap, who cares about their feelings.....
Makes sense to me....
EDIT:
I also don't think it's a great idea for a six year old to decide she doesn't like all but a few kids in her class enough to invite them to her party. I'd encourage my child (especially at that age) to be open minded, who knows years from now one of those kids she didn't want to invite could be her best friend.
