I'm sure this has been rinsed on mumsnet, but...


Recommended Posts

Thanks, that's interesting to read. I went to school overseas, and DH is just generally clueless about these things (bless 'im). Sometimes I wonder if I'm having an 'AIBU' moment, because I don't always know what to expect from local schools. We were definitely not allowed to handout invitations during school hours at my childhood schools.


My daughter's school doesn't seem to have a policy on this. Different teachers appear to handle it differently. This means that some teachers are letting children handout party invitations in class at the end of the school day. I think this is a bad idea for a lot of reasons, but I wondered how other schools were handling it. xx

No policy at our school - I normally just ask my daughter to try to hand them out as subtly as possible when they go in. I don't think her definition of 'subtle' is quite the same as mine though... Mind you, she's also been on the (non)receiving end when other kids have been handed out invites in front of her and she's not had one, and she didn't seem unduly bothered by it. I guess they just learn quite quickly that they can't be invited to everything: no big deal.

I'd been worried about my daughter getting offended st not being invited to a party, as well, of course, of upsetting someone whom she chose not to invite to her birthday. I was relieved to learn that it seems pretty much by the by - and my 8 yr old is definitely a sensitive sort! Her class /school seem to hand out invitations before or at school.

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
