A British head teacher has banned primary school children from making mother's day cards.?

How the hell do we stop this bloody p.c brigade from taking over our lives?

A British head teacher has banned primary school children from making mother's day cards.?
more political correctness garbage that's what i think. The majority of kids do have a mother so why should they be banned just to please the minority. Its always the same in this country the minority whinges about something and we just give in to them and let them get their own way I'm totally sick of it
Reply:typical British!
Reply:How stupid! Perhaps all the kids should make him a Get Well Soon card.
Reply:I read that the reason was that 5% of the children had no contact with their mothers for one reason or another what this head teacher has done is just plain stupidity it is the same old thing the majority are suffering for the minority we are supposed to be a democracy if this is so why cant the majority have it there way after all there has always been children who have had no contact with their mothers for one reason or another so what is so different now next we know they will be banning fathers day cards or men from wearing swim trunks because women don't wear them this is another example of PC gone mad
Reply:Whether or not cards are made, Mother's Day will still happen!!! The children without mothers can't be protected from it, they will still see mothers day related commercials on TV etc. Maybe Mother's Day should be banned altogether, and Father's Day come to that..





I lost my mother as a child, and Mother's Day used to be very hard for me, but like others have replied to this question, you can still make a card and visit her grave, the occasion can still be very special and it is all a learning process for the child. There really is nothing worse than people walking on eggshells around you, children are far more perceptive than we think and far stronger!!





For all the Motherless children in the class, the teacher can take the whole class outside and they can release balloons with cards tied on to them or something similar, to make them feel special.
Reply:I have some sympathy with you but my daughter's best friend died last week and I know that her two girls are dreading mother's Day.


I think though, that rather than banning the cards, the schools can address the problem with sensitivity - teachers are quite capable of making a quiet suggestion.
Reply:this is yet another example of political correctness gone mad. wrapping children up in cotton wool so that when they grow up and get out into the real world it is a terrible shock to find out what a hard place the world is. what next no Christmas cards because it may offend non Christians.i would think that as we live in a democracy then the feelings of the majority should come first think of the pleasure that Mothers get from getting a home made card from their children.
Reply:I think this is terrible.





I understand that there are a very very small minority of children who don't have mums, but when my mum died I still made my Mothers Day card in school and took it to her grave. It made me feel like she was still looking after me.
Reply:They haven't banned them from making Mother's day cards. They were trying to be sensitive to children who don't have Mums (think carefully about how distressing this must be for a child). The children who have Mums (lucky them) were able to make the cards.
Reply:My Mum died when I was young and still remember being really upset at having to make these cards, obviuosly you don't want to let the other kids know how distressed you are, so I made the card and took it home but made sure no-one at home saw it.


Even worse was the year one teacher suggested I make one for my Gran thinking this would be somehow better!!!


So I can see the teachers point, although maybe making the cards an after school activity, and so voluntary, instead of a classroom project might have been a less controversial way to go.
Reply:Mothers day should be celebrated and it would have been a better idea to of got children to make mothers day cards for Grandmas or something or maybe made the cards for thier mums and then be incouraged to go and visit the place they are buried and place the cards there.
Reply:My 7yr old had something to say on this - they're not their own kids!


my answer is

I need a poem for mothers day, but for someone who is not my mom!?

When i was growing up I lived with my dad and his girlfriend of many years was the closest thing to a mother that i had at the time. (my mom and i werent on speaking terms) Well years later they seperated and we have stayed close all these years despite the fact they are no longer together. She is always getting me cards, poems, quotes, etc. with sayings about."although you are not my own" or "although you are not my real daughter". So this mothers day i am wanting something really special to write in her card for mothers day. Please any suggestions will be helpful.

Hello!


I do not know if it fits to your circumstances, but maybe you can take a look at these poems...





-----------------------------------





I never had a real mom, but


I've had a mom that's real


In all the things that moms should do,


And all the things moms feel.





I never had a mother, but


I've had a mother's love.


I've had the kisses and the hugs


That therapists speak of.





I guess I should be crazy with


The things that I've been through.


But I've had all a kid could need


Because I have had you.








--------------------





Thank you for loving me,


Having me in.


All you have given


Now I hold within.





Kid in a vacuum


You made your own,


Or else I had been


Unloved and alone."

Good luck!
Reply:Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:





Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!





The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.





Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.





Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.





This is a really beautiful poem too!


Women have strengths that amaze us.


They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.


They smile when they want to scream.


They sing when they want to cry.


They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.


They fight for what they believe in.


They stand up for injustice.


They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.


They go without new shoes so their children can have them.


They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.


They love unconditionally.


They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.


They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.


They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.


They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.


Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.


They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.


The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!


Women do more than just give birth.


They bring joy and hope.


They give compassion and ideals.


They give moral support to their family and friends.


Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

Or kiss the place to make it well?


My Mother.


Happy mothers day





Or,





Dear __________ or mum..





Women known

They know a simple, merry, tender knack


Of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes


And stringing pretty words that make no sense.


And kissing full sense into empty words.





Happy mother day mum.

Dear __________ or mum..

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,


"R" means right, and right she'll always be,


Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"


A word that means the world to me.





HAPPY MOTHERS DAY





Or u could say..





Dear mum





GOD made a wonderful mother,


A mother who never grows old;


He made her smile of the sunshine,


And He molded her heart of pure gold;


In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,


In her cheeks, fair roses you see;


God made a wonderful mother,


And He gave that dear mother to me





Happy mothers day

Is it wierd to get a Mother's Day card from your puppy?

Ya know... only a true pet owner would understand the level of care and devotion it takes. I got my friend a card from her cats on Valentine's Day (there are actual cards out there people). Now that Mother's Day is coming up and I am getting my puppy (he is coming home on the 12th) my hubby wants to know if I want something for Mummy's Day from him and the dog (just a card from the dog really). I am thinking yeah sure! It is the only little thing I am taking care of right now and I practically treat it like a kid and I am mummy to it and he is daddy to it... so it's not that bad right?





http://spaces.msn.com/ukspice82 Go here and see our little one and how cute he is!

Is it wierd to get a Mother's Day card from your puppy?
Totally normal. I refer to my fiancee as "Dad" around the dog and vice-versa. He knows my mom as grandma and gets really excited when I ask him if he wants to go to grandmas house. FYI, that pup is so cute it hurts.
Reply:No, it isn't weird....in fact, I sign cards to my parents (who also loves my Boston Terrier) that is from me and the dog on their birthdays, Christmas, etc. :) I even have seen cards at stores that are made to be "from the cat" and "from the dog". :) Report Abuse

Reply:No it is not wierd.


You fed and bath and clean up after you fourlegged baby so yes you deserve reognition for it. My Husband and I both refer tho our puppy as the baby and treat her just like we would a 2 legged kid. The main plus is she dosent neeed a college fund just obideience classes.
Reply:yes
Reply:It's only weird if your dog can sign his name to it lol.
Reply:No, not weird. It's cute!
Reply:no, i guess so if you really wantt to give the card to your pet.
Reply:My parents have two dogs at home, and they are like children to them. They will always go out and find hallmark cards from "the dog(s)" for each other. They actually make them, and my parents love it. So I figure, to each his own!
Reply:I always made sure our cats and dogs sent Mother's Day cards.


Until my wife took the dog and left me. Or was it the other way around?
Reply:Anything is ok.
Reply:no its not bad at all! thats such an adorable idea! yeah i call my little chihuahua my son. lol.
Reply:Not weird at all.
Reply:yes
Reply:No - it's cute. And it also means that someone else in your family cared enough to do something sweet like that for you. I love my furkids and would love to get a card from them!
Reply:Yes. Dogs cant read!! If you want to get your puppy something special, get him some bones or a new toy.
Reply:yes
Reply:Most definitely.

I didnt sign my mothers valentines day card and she's angry at me...?

What should I do?

I didnt sign my mothers valentines day card and she's angry at me...?
Awwww.... It wasn't intentional, was it? Mistakes happen. I mean she knows it came from you so why not just write a little note that says "I love you anyway, mom."


Poor thing! She shouldn't be angry, she should be grateful...for a wonderful, thoughtful son!


I noticed you answered a gal's Q about not getting anything BUT a card AND flowers AND a cookie.....Hello????


I answered it too....
Reply:send her another one.
Reply:WHY send your mother a valentines card?? And why is she angry that you did not sign it?? Valentines day is for lovers not sons and mothers.


Tell her that you only sent the card because you thought she might feel left out and that you did not sign it cos valentine day is for lovers not sons and mothers


AND YOU - in future buy a loved one/friend a valentines day card not one for your MUM..


AND YOUR MUM!!! WELL she needs to remember that you are her son not her boyfriend.
Reply:Go buy another nicer bigger one, and sign it right away!
Reply:Sign it now. Why is she angry? Did she think it was from someone else?
Reply:Make her another card, sign it and tell her you're sorry you forgot to sign the first one. It shouldn't be a huge deal for either of you. If it is, maybe that's not the real issue.
Reply:I don't know why she would be unhappy however, one does forget. Try...





"I apologize. I did not realize how important that was to you. It was not intentionally unsigned. I will most happily remember to sign the next card. I love you!"
Reply:Not sure just why she should be so up set I will take it you forgot to accident happen.....just say your sorry an hope she is adult enough to forgive you...................
Reply:she's probably not angry just acting like it but anyway just tell her can u have the card back so u can sign it because u don't like it when she is mad at u.
Reply:This happened to me. My boy-friend actually gave me a Valentine card without his name written on it. Or it could have been my birthday. I forgot which. I think it was a Valentine card. I had to remind him to write his name. He did but, wondered why since he personally gave it to me. Some men just don't get it! Writing your name makes this more personal. It shows the person receiving it that you had made the time not only to buy the card but to write your name it. You could always apologize and write your name on it. Also give her a hug while doing it!
Reply:Go and MAKE her one to show that you are sorry. Take a piece of paper from your fax and then go cut out pictures of roses and flowers from old magazines and anything that says love, special, unique, greatest. Any words that would describe how you would your mom. Glue everything together. Also, search for some Shakespeare quotes and write them on the inside. She'll really appreciate your effort. Mu husband has done stuff like this and I am so excited when he does it.
Reply:I thought Valentine cards were for lovers.
Reply:She shouldn't be angry. Send her flowers.
Reply:Why should she be angry? that's dumb. anyway , give a shout out to her on her favorite radio station, or request her favorite song. Otherwise , grovel. lol
Reply:mother-lover
Reply:Get her something really nicer than the first one and give her a really big Kizz!! and a Hug something that will make her really happy!!! Why is she mad???
Reply:I'm Sorry


Happy mothers Day! Thanks mothers of the military.?

Today we thank our mothers. Cards, gifts, candy etc.





But i would like to thank a special group.





I want to thank those mothers in the military, who try so hard to defend our country, and raise their children at the same time.


I have had the oppurtunity to work with many of the amazing women and they inspire me every time.





I would also like to thank the mothers whose children are in the military. You have accepted the ultimate sacrifice, your children for the protection our country. Trust me, your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. To the families who have lost their sons and daughters to our freedom, it was the time you put in to raising them, and teaching them that made the incredible men and women that changed our nation.





These mother are the most incredible women I have ever met. I cannot thank you enough, I can simply tell you that this is your day. Enjoy it, And know that our nation has noticed you, and thanks you.

Happy mothers Day! Thanks mothers of the military.?
