child's class dilemma

[mama2one]

thanks everyone for your input!

not allowed in school after school's out so we wait outside for child pickup

after started thread, reread email re class
turns out it's from PTO and not mom teaching class so I have no way to contact her anyway

will send child to last class and hope they have no free time

I would definitely call who was in charge and voice your concern. I would let my daughter finish out the last class and I would not sign her up to participate further unless assured that would not happen again . There are plenty of games to do with children as a group that do not involve 'killing'.

but what good would contacting the mom or school do

I would be completely outraged as well, but it's better to calmly approach the mom in charge and let her know you don't want your child participating in those kinds of games.

Yes the damage has already been done and there is only one more class, but you may be helping the parents and children of future classes.

Dont have kids myself,

As suggested above, I'd say, discuss it with the mother/assistant in a calm respectful manner that you do not want your child to participate in such a thing. Since its unlikely to happen again with only one class remaining.

I would probably allow my child to finish out the class, but I would show up early before the class were scheduled to finish just incase there were time left and they decided to play that game again or something similar.

I'd sit in the background quietly and respectfully until it were time to gather my child, unless I heard them starting up that "game" again.

Remaining silent is rarely ever the answer.
