Teachers May Not Want To Hand Out Birthday Invites In Class, But They Have A Point

Some parents throw a small get-together in the backyard of their home, while others rent out large party places and invite everyone they know. It really depends on the family and what they want to do.

Parents know that when throwing a party, they always have invitations to send out. Whether it's an e-vite over text message or actual, physical invites, giving invitations makes it an actual party. And, who doesn't love a cute kid's invite?!?

One of those rules happens to have to do with who the child is inviting. Many parents believe that when you are throwing a child's birthday party and you are inviting some kid's from their class at school, you shouldn't leave other kids out.

In the viral video, a teacher called a parent of a child in her class after her daughter had given a few invitations to some kids at school, but, not the entire class. The teacher said that if the girl was going to invite some kids in class, she should have invited the entire class.

The mom said that it was absolutely wrong to say she had to invite the whole class, which has 27 kids in it. The mom claimed that it was a birthday party, "she's not a soup kitchen" able to feed and entertain all 27 students in her daughter's class.

The teacher was coming from a place that, if a parent is going to have a child hang out invites at school in the classroom, that every child should be getting one. If they don't plan on inviting the whole class, giving the invites out in school is the wrong move.

Another teacher chimed in and said that you don't have to invite the entire class, but, if you're not going to then handing out invitations in the classroom is wrong. You shouldn't do it in front of the other kids if they're not invited.

Others said if you don't plan on inviting the entire class, stop passing them out in the classroom. There's literally no reason to purposely make other kids feel bad about themselves and wonder why they are not invited.

One person said that people are "too sensitive." If you're inviting only a handful of kids, it shouldn't matter if you hand them out in person. If you only leave out 2-3 kids of the whole class, then yeah, that's wrong.

One person compared this mentality of needing to invite everyone in the class to giving out participation trophies. They agreed that kids need to learn to not be included in everything and be okay with being left out.

Others commented saying that those who say "passing them out in class" is wrong and rude, they need to stop tip-toeing around kids. They said "kids these days need to learn that they don't need to be involved."

Where do you stand on this debate?
