Class
Lunch
Recess
PE
It doesn't matter. If the whole class is together and some are getting and some aren't, feelings will be hurt. Jesus. I'm not a parent and even I know that.

BTW,This is a party at a horse ranch.Only 15 kids can attend because that's all the horses they have which is why it's so limited.
So you at least see the issue with this right? The school in only avoiding shite on their end when little Sally is talking about this awesome party on a ranch and little Betty runs home crying to mommy.

Instead have your kid personally ask the people who are invited saying it's so they can send their invitation in the mail. Nothing against asking for addresses, some rules are just stupid and people need to learn how to parent.
How hard is it to explain to your child the world isn't fair, you don't get invited to every little event, and not everyone is your friend?
Instead people want to piss and moan cause their child got their feelings hurt instead of using this to teach lessons that they will need in the future since getting left out will happen sooner or later.

At school = in class as far as I'm concerned

You've got to put yourself in the shoes of the administration and imagine how many phone calls they get over petty stuff like this, yes...parents will call the school and bitch because their sweet baby didn't get invited to little Johnny's party
This is pathetic, and it is 100% true. Parents now days are fricking ridiculous.

Every school I know of extends its authority to anything that happens on campus during the school day. I can't imagine this is a new thing for some people, but as you say "this is the OT."

Just make a card for everybody but for the kids that aren't invited just give a card that says "have a nice day" and don't hand them out until the end of the day.
Eta: or better yet just give the other kids valentines day cards.

Well, with new bullying laws and child alienation this stuff is only going to get more strict

Who picked the horse ranch? Sounds like you're just trying to exclude half the class. Have the party at McDonald's so children of all races can be lovin it.

This is good for her.
The school is teaching her, at a young age, about socialism.
One day she will grow up, and pay taxes to help people that don't deserve her help.
Just like today she has to invite people to her party that don't deserve and invitation.

My kid's school actually has a policy on this stuff if you are bringing invitations to be passed out at school:
1)either all the kids in the class get an invititation
2)just boys or just girls get invitations (pretty common when they are young)
3)if you only want certain kids to come to your party, you send our own invitations and don't bring them to school.
This is the way most of my kids' schools have done it (public & private). Just this year, one went to the rule of "no invitations handed out at all", which I can understand too.
Meauxjeaux2, if you don't have a class address list, just tell her to get everyone to write their names/addresses down in a notebook. Don't exclude anyone though, by saying "I just need addresses for an invitation". For all they know it's for vacation postcards (which are fun for the kids to do too).

If the school doesn't have a blanket rule about not handing out invitations unless everyone gets one, they will run into problems with the kids who aren't politely and discreetly handing out invitations on the playground, or the ones who get the invitations and show them to all their classmates who didn't get one, and then if they try to talk to the parents, all hell will break loose. It's easier to make a blanket rule that all can understand than to rely on the social tact of elementary schoolers.
