[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I don’t understand what is wrong with the idea?
Kids are allowed to bring treats for their birthdays. I believe they are handed out at the end of the day but I don’t really care when- they are allowed. How are goodie bags different?
I want to do this because we have been invited and went to several parties so I feel bad we won’t invite these people back.
My kid doesn’t want a party because, well, he just isn’t a very people person. I asked him if he wanted a bigger party at a venue, a small home party (1-3 friends) or a getaway at a hotel with a pool and jacuzzi. He chose the latter and this is honestly what I will enjoy the most so why not.

Teacher here.

*** Cool goodie bags at school  = chaos in the classroom,
*** Disrupts the daily agenda because kids do not want to focus on anything but the goodies, 
***Kids may lose the items at school and have a meltdown
***Raises the bar too high for classroom birthdays, and sets up unnecessary expectations for future birthdays of other children

How little control do you have of your classroom? Give them out at the end of the day and be done with it. Are usually have a lot of sympathy and respect for teachers but frankly you sound ridiculous. He’s our preschoolers.[/quote]
