When a kid has a birthday, they often bring treats to share with their classmates at lunch. This is easily done since the kids sit together by class. Well, today a kid in another class must have had a birthday and brownies were brought in for the class. I don't know if what happened next was by design, or spur of the moment, but then the mother in question proceeded to dole out brownies to kids in the other six classes, if they rode the same bus as her child! That means that some of the kids in Geek Girl's class received brownies, and most of them didn't. Excuse me, what are you thinking lady? If you're going to hand out treats to a table, you hand them out to everyone at the table.
Four hours later, the first thing my kid says to me when I pick her up after school is that something not fun happened at lunch and proceeded to explain to me what happened. Part of me wants to complain to the school or hunt her down, but I'm hoping maybe this mom just wasn't thinking. So, thank you for allowing me this chance to vent and now it's time to move one. (Well, I'll have to complain to one more parent tomorrow and then I will move on, promise.)
I think it would be entirely justify to complain to the school that no teachers stepped in to stop the mother. Idiocy!
ReplyDeleteGL -- The teachers prep during lunch. I think there are a couple of lunch monitors to supervise 140 2nd graders -- not sure what they were doing.
ReplyDeleteI did talk to next-door-neighbor mom and she said when they brought in birthday treats and had a couple left over they handed them out to kids that they knew. What happened yesterday sounded different and not right, but I wasn't there.
Oh well. Geek Girl has forgotten about it for now and hopefully it won't happen again.
