[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also I would add that a parent that has a Halloween party and invites EVERY single sta boy in the grade in the neighborhood except for one boy who then did not have anyone to go out with is also equally mean. [/quote]

Would the STA administration get involved in cases like this?  I believe (or would like to believe) that Beauvoir's current administration would. It's pretty awful and blatant to exclude one child like that. Really egregious behavior on the part of the parents.  [/quote]

Totally agree. But what is the administration of a school supposed to do about this? It's a private party and, like it or not, people can invite to their home whomever they wish. It's unfair of people to expect the school to intervene.[/quote]

That's true but when the family calls next time for school fundraising maybe just hang up and they will get the point.[/quote]

It also is extremely concerning about the parents of the children who [i]attended[/i] the party.  Granted they may not have known [i]in[/i] [i]advance[/i] but it speaks volumes about them that there was not a general uproar and group self-correction afterwards.  That says to me that either people agreed and supported the exclusion OR they were intimidated into not asserting that their value system did not support that bullying action against the child.  It is so appalling that a child was purposefully and visibly excluded like that.[/quote]
