Teacher Calls Out Mom For Excluding One Child From Her Child’s Birthday Party

Every school has two categories of students: those who bully other pupils and those who are the targets of bullying. Bullying occurs when children believe they are superior to others or belong to a higher social class, and they feel it is their right to make fun of others in lesser positions. Since the negative attitudes of the pupils in the class have a lasting impact on the children who are affected, it is the teacher’s duty to regulate them.

OP planned to throw her six-year-old daughter a surprise birthday party. She sent out invitations to all of her classmates during their end-of-year celebration at school, with the exception of one girl who has been bullying her daughter since the start of school. The girl would constantly pick on her daughter, making fun of her name, food, and eyes, and sometimes the bullying even escalated to become physical. OP repeatedly complained to their class teacher about it, but it never ended. OP invited everyone else and disregarded the bully girl because she didn’t want her kid to be bothered on her special day. The teacher of her daughter called OP to inform her that excluding only one girl from the party was inappropriate.

7. Redditor thinks that the teacher was involved since OP distributed the invitation cards on the school premises; otherwise, he would not mind it.

8. Redditor comments that many schools have policies stating that invitation cards should not be distributed on the school property if the entire class cannot be invited.

9. Redditor believes that if the teacher could not control bullying by calling that girl’s parents, then how can he criticize the OP for not inviting the whole class?

10. A teacher should know that all students are entitled to the same respect in the classroom.

11. Redditor explains that bullying varies depending on the boundaries that each person has.

12. Redditor supports OP for giving the bullying girl a lesson by not inviting her to the party.

13. Yes, it is the maximum schools’ policy.

14. Indeed! Bullying should not be allowed anywhere.

15. Redditor criticizes the teacher for downplaying severe bullying as “just a little teasing,” claiming that this is the reason the behavior persists.

16. It’s true that young children who experience unchecked conduct will grow up to be more radical.

17. According to Redditor, if the teacher can not control the bullying, he had no right to criticize other’s misconduct.

18. It’s true that letting them treat other pupils badly will make them more aggressive down the road.

OP should not have been invited the whole class in front of the bullying girl since she had exercised the same behavior which she did not like to bear by her daughter. If she did not want that girl in her daughter’s birthday she should inform other’s personally without involving school in it. OP had fully capable of making her daughter’s birthday list and it was a right decision to not invite the girl with whom her daughter was not comfortable but the process of inviting others should be done secretly.
