Would this bother you?
I will preface by saying that I am not huge fan of my DS teacher and I have several issues already so this could skew my view on this.
Every year my daycare does a spring fling. Kids get dressed up and they have a dance each class goes in on their own. My DS teacher has been at this school for a while and knows about it.
This year I thought I guess they are not doing it this year (I was reminded of it when my DD and DS popped up on my on this day FB section last week) well I walked into daycare and saw a sign for it and I was like oh you guys are having it this year to be then told by the Assistant Director (who was up front when I said it) that my DS class isn't do it. His teacher decided that day it should be pajama day and they are going to celebrate the teachers birthday which was on Monday.
For some reason this is bugging me and rubbing me the wrong way. I don't know why its not that big of thing really but I just find it weird, unnecessary and ridiculous his class is the only one not doing it. I couldn't help myself and said something to the director. I don't get why their class is excluded and why the teacher would pick that day of all days and why it was even allowed to happen. She offered to have them do the dance if I really wanted it I said no but I basically said it should have never really been allowed.
Would if it bothered you or am I acting crazy.  
My mom, DH and friend who normally would tell me I am acting crazy did side with me that it was strange the school would do that. just wondering what others think.

I'm not sure it would really bother me but I will say my DS's Daycare would never allow one class to opt out. If they have events like this all the classes do it.

I don't get upset easily about stuff like this either. but that sounds weird to me, too. Like why just his class? and why that day of all days to celebrate her birthday with pajama day? I think you were right to say something... at least just to point out that its a little strange...

this is exactly my point why this day out of all days why just his class.
I will say I am normally a very easy going parent. I never in the past complained about things before and believe me there are things that have happened that I know other parents would not be happy with and I just didn't fuss about it but this freaking year for some reason I feel like I am that parent that has been saying things and it drives me insane cause I do not like being that way.

Yes it would bother me. But my issue would be less with the teacher than with the Director that allowed it. The Director should have put a stop to that.

Re: Would this bother you?
Our school does something like this. It's a huge deal. No class is excluded (it's also treated like a fundraiser... they sell VIP seats, food, dessert). DD has a costume from shoes to dress. It's really a nice event. I get teary eyed every year.
It is a lot of practicing and work for the class. I wonder if there is no specific reason other that the teacher didn't feel like it for the exclusion? Maybe couldn't be done because of certain kids... I don't know. It IS odd. I know that DD had. Wet high teacher:kid ratio and they changed part of the performance because kids were hitting each other. Maybe a few kids were not capable??? I could imagine they couldn't not include individual kids and maybe chose to do no while class.

That would definitely bother me and I would expect the Director to tell the teacher they must take part. Very odd.

This would bother me. I find it weird that a teacher just opts out of something that everyone else is participating in and then instead celebrates her own birthday instead.

It would bother me as well. She's taking away something fun for the kids to celebrate her bday? That is so strange. DS has been in daycare for 3 years and I have no idea when the teacher's birthday is.

I feel like there may be an underlying reason that they're not able to tell you, and that the birthday/pj day is a way to still give the kids something nice

I don't think there is any underlying reason simply that she wanted the party and I am going to be honest probably didn't want to deal with doing the dance the kids being dressed up and I am pretty sure the teachers are supposed to partcipate and dress up this would be the underlying issue if anything.
My child would be the underlying reason/problem in the class he gets speech 2 times a week and has a SIET an hour a day for 3 days a week cause for some reason he behaves completely different at daycare then he does at home.
This is not a big show where they practice or anything like that cause then I would have made a more a big deal about it. In the long run its really so small and not a big thing it just bothers me that the class is excluded.
The director did offer to bring the class down but I said no I just made the point that is was no right that this was even allowed.
And since I am a big child I protested today by not dressing him in pajamas No worries my son will not notice nor care he is not in pajamas while the other kid are.
