Valentine's Day Disaster

 My daughter is in 2nd grade and she was so excited over her class Valentine party. She made everyone a card and put a sucker on it and so forth. My daughter who is a special needs child came home from school the next day w/ only 5 cards out of a class of 24. How could any parent let thier child leave someone off the Valentines list? She was so upset and I was fit to be tied! She told me see I told you nobody  likes me at school they think i'm wierd. How could parents and the teacher allow that to happen?

It's possible the parents didn't know. Kids are mean little things when they want to be. The kids could have written her out a Valentine at home while the parents were watching, and then trashed them or something. As bad as it sounds, I've seen kids do exactly that. So it's not really fair to blame the parents. And the teachers, as much as they wish they could, can't monitor all 20-some students and make sure they give each and every other kid a Valentine.

I'm so sorry your daughter had a bad day. :-( Kids can be really cruel.

That is awful.  We've always had to send in a valentine for every child in the class.  I think that I would be mentioning this to the teacher, expecially since your daughter was so upset over it.

Awww! :( That breaks my heart! Did you do something special for her at home. I think you should address this with her teacher! She at some point had to of known your daughter didnt get very many cards. I am so sorry! I will mail her a card if it will make you/her feel better!

 Thats really... odd. In the 5 years my son has been in school, all the kids get Valentines.  Even the ones that no one likes (that was my son).  You said she's special needs.  Is she in the class full time?  I ask because I helped with a special needs boy and he only was in the class for small periods during the day and had another special class he was in most of the time.  Not sure which list he was on come Valentines Day.
