[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm baffled.  Do your children not have Friends that they celebrate with? 
Can't believe so much whining over not having the entire world stop for your special snowflakes.

Our school.never had this, 10 years ago even[/quote]

I’m baffled that you can’t see beyond your wealthy privilege.

Have you not read this thread?  Two posters talked about how these in-class birthday celebrations were kind of a big deal for many of the kids at our lower-income school.  These families were not doing big parties at ZavaZone or SkyZone.  Plus, it’s not always possible to invite the entire class anyway.  Even for families who can afford these parties.

Bringing in Oreos to share with their classmates was a fun, low-key way for them to feel a bit special on their birthday.

But, who care, right?  Your kid gets a fun celebration with her friends and that’s all that matters.  [/quote]

Agree. My kids went to a Title 1 school where most children lived in apartments and most families could not afford to have parties at paid facilities. In-class celebrations let kids celebrate with their friends and feel special for a few minutes at a low cost.
What a privileged post![/quote]
