[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the kindergarten & 1st grade brithday kids, that really sucks.  However, are you sure it is isn't just that the other kids didn't have parties and not a slight of your child?

I ask because of my two youngest (both typical) one of them had lots of invites in kindergarten, all from boys, but the teacher that year allowed you to send in invites as long as you included all of one gender or the entire class. The next year the teacher required kids to invite the entire class, and our invite was the only one that went out. He also got invited to one other friend's party by evite, but it was a very small group.

This year my kindergartners teacher has the invite the whole class rule,and there have been only two parties: my kid's and a girl's princess party at a ballet studio. That is it. None of the kids who showed up for our party invited him or anyone to a birthday party this year.

Could that be what happened to your poor little guys as well? That the party invites were stiffled due to the requirement to invite the whole class? In just two years there was a huge difference in the number of invitations my kids received, and the only real difference was the requirement to invite the whole class and not just one gender.

I really hope that is what it is and not a direct snub. Kindergartners tend to be so inclusive naturally, even of kids with special needs.[/quote]

I was the OP of the 1st grader who did not get invited to a single party that year.  Our school had no such rule about inviting the whole class or the entire gender.  He is currently a Junior and evites were not around then.  There were definitely parties because the boys would talk about them in class or at recess and my son would come home sad to hear he had been left out again.  [/quote]
