People are furious after a Sydney school banned students from handing out birthday party invitations, branding the move “ridiculous”.
Mosman Public School established the ban on party invitations in an effort to avoid hurting the feelings of students who were not invited,Instead, parents have been instructed to “covertly collect email addresses” from their intended guests and send the invitations electronically.
The ban has infuriated parents who claim kids need to learn they won’t always get special treatment in life.Other parents insisted on teaching kids “resilience” through situations like not being invited to a party, saying it was character building for kids to learn they won’t always win at everything or get picked first.
“So stupid. Kids Need to learn about disappointment and sadness. They are normal emotions that we all feel and it’s important to experience these to a degree, in order to become healthy well adjusted adults. Over entitlement is very concerning,” another said.Source:istock “Unfortunately, it’s unrealistic to invite the whole class, especially when your child probably doesn’t play with 50 per cent,” she said.
