Speaking of gifts

(1/1)

IndianInlaw:
Many years ago, my son took swimming lessons at the Y.

Each class met in a different section of the pool, so many classes were in session at once.

The classes finished right before Christmas.  At the last class, many (but not all) teachers handed out candy canes to their students.   So many students saw others running around with candy.

My son didn't get one and asked me if he had flunked.

Had I known this beforehand, I would have gladly shelled out two bucks for candy for the class.

Would I have been contributing to the problem?

Should the teachers have done this own their own.  I knew the aquatics director personally and she was nice, so I told her of this AFTER the fact, I'm sorry to say.

She said she would rectify the situation.

I think is some children were going to get a gift, then all the children should have gotten a gift. It wasn't fair for some to recieve and others not. I think the teachers should have all gotten together on this.
By the way, I need your address so I can send your son a gross of candy canes. That "Did I flunk?" just broke my heart....

IndianInlaw:
Auntie Venom, your heart is in the right place, but you're a bit late.  This was in 1st grade and he's now 23.

Thank you though.

Balletmom:
Not too late to give him what he deserves.

I'll send him one, too.
