^yes..it was well said indeed. Yet...no matter what the intention of the teacher was...dont you think that a primary school teacher should know that some people do not celebrate christmas? Sheesh...and then to go questioning the child as if the child is being deprived of something necessary...thats what I found disturbing, not that she should be fired from her job or hunted over it. But yes, having a chat with the teacher is a very nice solution.
Yes that's very immature of the teacher and it is disturbing. Esp. if she says i*t's a national holiday - no longer religious.* With these words kids are *not gonna be able to EXPRESS themselves rightly- but they KNOW the answer. *
Like I said before, my son might have said we ENJOY Christmas by exchanging gifts - so yes THAT is a way we are contributing to the NATIONAL HOLIDAY. So THAT should answer her queries.
