Gavin is attending a summer program run through a daycare center. It is located in a huge building where the main focus is gymnastics and the daycare is something extra. They do a ton of fun things plus there are a lot of kids there. Once a week they are supposed to go to the pool. This week it was cancelled. Wednesdays a person from the library comes and reads to the kids and they do an activity. I guess 7 or so of the kids (out of like 30) were really awful and as punishment they cancelled the pool for this week.
When one of the workers told me I asked her if Gavin had done anything and she said he had not that he was and is very well behaved (
). I talked to my SIL and her 3 kids attend also and she said she had asked the same thing. She told me it was 7 kids that are always acting up.
Now as I have never had a child in daycare I do not know if I am over reacting or not. But I have to ask if you think it was really fair to punish everyone?
Personally I do not feel it works real well to punish the entire group because a few have misbehaved. Especially when the kids are so young. They have kids that are 3 years old there as well. When I told Gavin he was not going to the pool he was pretty disappointed about it and did not understand why as he had done nothing wrong.

Poor Gavin. I can see where the kids who did behave might start feeling like it was useless to behave since they were going to loose their swimming priviledges anyway.
