I know that there are rowdy kids that are just trouble and need some discipline that's when a teacher should step in and call the parents. But if a little girl is innocent through the whole thing and just loves christmas i don't think anyone has the right to take that away from a little girl, to me that's bullying imo and the mother is just telling her daughter that she has the right to speak her mind, she is a very intelligent little girl. |
So are you saying it was the little girl's idea to go to school dressed up as Santa? If not, it wasn't her own decision and therefore your sister in law forced her kid to do her dirty work. I just don't agree with that. And I find it hard to believe that an 8 year old would do that after already having words passed about saying "Merry Christmas". But maybe I'm wrong, still, what came out of it? Even if it was her idea, as a parent, your sister in law shouldn't have allowed it. Seems like it was all just to stir up something that could've been discussed between the adults. Instead, it became trying to make a point through an innocent kid.
Oh, and for the record, that second quote you posted, I did not say. You added the wrong name to that one.
But IMO, Christmas is about a lot of things, but in a child's eyes, I think it's has less of a religious meaning than it does concerning Santa and presents. But for me personally, Christmas is more about family and friends and a time where we all try and get together.
