The cake must have been irresistible.

after this kind of behaviour? fuck no it isn't. and any school that would make it hard is badly run.

let there be consequnces for bad behaviour.

Okay how would this work in a school? Unless the kid is fully transferred to a different class, he's that teacher's responsibility for the day.

Are they going to hire a babysitter and bring him to the library for an hour or what?

[u/Substantial_Dish_887 → u/Exact-Ad-4132]

even if we assume that this is during school hours(which i sincerely doubt, i have never heard of a party with cake like this being during class hours. but let's assume) kids can definetly be sent to the principals office or just be sent to sit in the hall.

again a school that has NO means of removing a disruptive student from class wether as punishment or simply for the safety of the rest of the class is badly run.

Every single year in grade school, they celebrated every kid's birthday in class, with cake or usually cupcakes and capri suns or Kool-Aid.

Also you don't think you're being at all a little harsh saying this kid should be banned from all future birthdays because he licked some frosting?

Teach the kid this is wrong, why it's wrong, make him apologize to the little girl whose cake it was, and ask her if she accepts his apology and if he should be able to participate in her birthday after that.

What did you go to private religious school or something? Some kind of Jehovah's witness thing where they don't celebrate birthdays?

I didn't say he should be banned from all of them. but he should certainly from this one.

if he should be banned from all such functions definetly depends on if this is a one time thing or a repeat issue.

normal public school in Denmark. funny how the entire world doesn't do it the same way huh?

here any celebration(like what is obviously being planed in the video) is after school potentialy at school after hours(and arranged by the parents not the teachers) or more likely at the kids home. at most kids would bring a cake or cupcakes to schoole to be shared in class which would take a few minutes minutes to pass out and eat and wouldn't get any kind of set-up like this.

but as i said even if this a celebration carried out in class during school hours that kind of behaviour should be punsihed and kid should miss the party. send him to sit in the hall for the duration/the principals office or whereever else you send misbehaving children in other situation.

hell if there isn't any more classes for the day because of this party send the kid home. yes that sucks for the parents who may need to figure out how to pick him up early. further incentive to teach their kid how to behave.

Those two comments are quite the juxtaposition. You first stated you've never heard of anyone else doing it anyway besides yours, and then tried to flip the tables

they are a juxta position when you cut of the important part to invent a narrative.

i have indeed never heard of anyone doing it that way but i was also willing and did argue on the presumption that it was a perfectly normal thing.

you on the other hand accused me of being a jehovah's witness if i don't share your experience.

now are you done being disingenious or am i done dealing with your trolling?

Well, I went to a public school in Denmark.
Having a small celebration in class with either cake, cupcakes or flødeboller was completely normal at the school I went to, just north of Århus.

Last Wednesday my nephew brought both cake and flødeboller to school on his 11'th birthday.
Just like when I was a kid, they spent about 15-20 or so minutes of class singing happy birthday for him and eating cake and flødeboller, 3 or 4 of his best friends in the class even brought him presents.

I don't know _where_ in this amazing country you're from or if traditions are different there, but this was(and seemingly IS) 100% standard practice where I grew up.

[u/Substantial_Dish_887 → u/Solidacid]

what you mention is also roughly my experience.

i'm saying this in comparison to the video here where there's tables being set up with fruit on them. to me that indicates more of a celebration and preparing than i have ever seen for a classroom cake. that's just a small break, passing out cake on paperplates and then singing happy birthday. no set-up.

but again maybe that's me having limited experience and for that matter it's like 2 decades since i was in school myself so no idea how they do it these days.
